“Those two naïve children are dead now”

.

Haunted by the ghosts of the present-day selves,

We only wanted to rejoice in the marriage of one another to the other,

But instead, were met with obligated rituals and mundane sacrifice,

.

“Those two naïve children are dead now”

Haunted by the blades that which we danced with that first night,

Never knowing when the other would sour or spoil,

.

“Those two naïve children are dead now”

Haunted by the makeshift realities that we indulged in,

While the other slowly wilted away into the gardens that we’ve grown together

.

Yes, indeed,

“Those two naïve children are dead now”

But in the end, it was you to behead me.

"Haunted by the makeshift realities that we indulged in,

While the other slowly wilted away into the gardens that we’ve grown together"

I enjoy lines like these. Thanks for sharing.
