Sunken eyes and hollowed cheeks

Only awarded to grotesque lovers

Tears stain but never speak,

Lifeless cries of disdain from

Perilously begging to see her.


A drowning love with tidal waves

Known to none but them as the currents swiftly changed

She prayed he'd stay forever

He prayed she'd let him leave.

Matted hair and coffee painted teeth

She was breaking beneath her façade.


Dreams of their future

Lost in a grotesque loving sea.

Acclaimed preconceptions

Dragging down the destined.

Anchored hopes and starboard dreams

Were these two lovers meant-to-be?
