Hands tightly clutched to another's
Fading warmth lingering in pale skin
"Heartbeats becoming slow"
Eyes becoming devoid of life.

Taken into death's cold embrace
Icy hands held together
Blank gazes towards the sky
Ignorant to the chilling rain.

Maggots crawling over cold bodies
Damp grass entwining stiff limbs
Love eternalised by eternal slumber
"I'd be home with you".

[this was very heavily inspired by Hozier's 'In a week']
