Faces chalky and eyes devoid of life
It knows no boundaries nor any end
Romeo’s poison and Juliet’s knife
Our mind’s escape from the shadow of sin.

It is the charcoal colored, bleak gray sky
Our secrets are branded into our bones
Lips sewn with silver thread; lies caged inside
Within the thriving dirt will be our home

Follow me, brother; don’t leave me alone
Hold my hand through the curtain of sharp thorns
Our names will live on in the marble stone
But our breath doth fade with our partings sworn

As the years drag on and our sleep resumes
The life of earth will bleed into our tombs
