Star-Crossed
did you ever hear about
those two girls that never died?
it was said they found a portal
that kept them young
hearts forever beat in
unison
but they couldn't function
so they just sat there staring
at each other/
with locked eyes / star crossed lovers
suspended in time

forever waiting
for something to reach into
'em and change their minds
peddle 'em backwards
Take back all those words
worthless epiphanies
where the baby
outgrew her cradle
no more sung of lullaby
innocence forgotten
where one once begun
other couldn't recall it
most beautiful connection
deception
looking around for a sign
of recollection
repaint this canvass
touch up their blemishes
who tainted trust?
whose the hero?
is she the villain?
what caused their plot twist?
too much likeness
or too much unsaid?
was it violence
or love just unfed?
you see it
these hallways painted
in red
is that bloodshed
or function of arteries?
she push walls outward
but they only effecting she
letters to the wind again
that was then and this is me
all these letters spread like
wings
depart from she
other one
drowning in confusion
of what's right and wrong
let her cross boundaries
while you promise to be better
while you promise to get better
while you promise to never hurt me
they just sat there
star crossed lovers
