They already have the love they need
The poisons from each other's past rushing up to meet and settle with one another
The stubbornness of the present giving the power to do nothing but taunt and glare
The absence of a future keeping them from doing better
They both know about almost everything about each other now
The fact that they're both horrid creatures
Surviving only with petty manipulation, frivolous gloating, harmful coping techniques, and false order
And why not?
All of those things are better than dealing with any real issues
From choking in the stiff, cold air
Filled with the filth of unspoken but certain truths
Covered with sullied, unsullied piety
Luckily for them, their arrogance and ignorance is enough to stop them from ever blaming themselves
They're both the same
Both their families ripped them apart
One was damaged all at once
Gone forever and able to do nothing but live on faith and wait for the body to burst
The other trampled on daily with sharp words and silences
Echoing like the notes of a church choir
They both had hope of living the lives they were both taught to dream of
And when the day finally came
For their lives to change forever
One wasted no time in seizing the opportunity of happiness
By tricking the other to love
Their love was created with the help of a drink
That opened the other's poison all at once
Managing to turn the both of them into the demons they were always meant to be
So because they both needed the help
They agreed to go to Hell together
And they were rewarded with image and power
With the price of never changing themselves or anybody around them for the better
So they adapted
One of them at first tried to make it work
But the other was still angry at the fact that they were tricked
And would much rather wallow in sadness
Then do-
well anything really
So there was nothing left to do
But wait for the day when they would have nothing left to lose
When the children would stop asking questions and just leave them alone to mourn what could've been
Even if they tried again and again to leave
But that would be impossible anyways
Because all they ever had was this hell
And that even though they would wish every night before they went to separate beds
For something better
They realized that they would only ever get the love they needed
Which was really nothing at all
