Killing hearts

With a touch of forever love burns on,
as the times flies by pain sets in.
Ahead is the road no one knows,
in a world already broken apart.
Standing at the doorway to despair,
is the love found by hearts dying to feel.
Something never felt by either before,
killing hearts just to love in their own way.
Drifter, ghost, runner, hiding from the pain,
strong one, angel, holder of life’s secrets.
You see the light so beautiful in their eyes,
broken by the fears they both share.
Lovers in life and wed by the blood they possess,
bound in eternal fires quenched by love.
Killing hearts to survive another day,
killing hearts forgotten by the dreams they see.
Visions held aside for the moment they shall know,
killing hearts forever in this heart that they hold.
Love burning bright in the light held in death,
lovers in hearts killing fire by their eyes.
Crying to die, living to love,
killing hearts never failing their hopes.
Bound in water held together by desire,
these killing hearts bleeding as one.
Love found, pain let go, fear creeping in,
pleasure known, dreams remembered, in loves killing heart.
