This is a story of Love and Death

This is a story of Love

of the oasis that grows in our soul

and the burning flames that make us whole;

Of the ashes reincarnated,

the whispers unrequited,

and the return of a stranger long-invited;

Of the breezy seas in the dark

and yearning screams of the heart;

Of rains triggering every sudden flashbacks—

This is a story of Love... 

of self-love and being loved back. 

 

This is a story of Death

of the nemesis living under our beds

waiting until our sleeptime ticks;

Of the black poison that seeps into our heads

and how we try to lose it with pills we call "meds";

Of the shaking hands,

violet arms,

and shattered voices;

Of the endless battles and tired armors;

Of waking up breathing

and wanting to fight once again—

This is a story of Death

and catching another breath.

 

This is a story of Love and Death

and the day the two first met
