Until

 
Darkness swallows mercy
as the longest night
draws demons from the heart
sweeping stars from lovers' eyes
Crows huddle at the window
their beady black eyed droves
waiting to peck out memories
when there's no more blood to bleed
Bound by brave illusion
sanity surrenders to a dream
trades kisses for truth
sealing our bargain
with time's sure hand
Your last whispered 'forever'
the curse of freedom
while stolen years conspire
waiting for death
to reunite
the cruelest tryst of all
