Doves to crows

White to black

Pureness of soul we certainly do lack

I take his hand and he then mine

And stand before our lord as our souls become entwined

We say our vows for now and forever

Then share a kiss in the midnight mist

I take a sip of the wine of death

And my heart stops pounding in my chest

My love follows suite

Then he too kicked the boot

Now we lay on the shores of yore

And breathe again?

Nevermore
