a love so sweet it could not last

a love so pure, yet ended so fast

all hope had been lost

and they loved at such a cost

he looks back into the past

back with her, and let his memories amass

she loved him 'till her very last

knowing her life could have been saved somehow

he still laughed at the irony of their vow

'till death do us part, they swore

but when he hits the floor, his hands cold

he makes a new vow, bringing back the old

his head bathed in bright red smears

his words quiet, yet quite clear

"death shall not part us, my dear."

thus concludes a tale of two lovers that could not be

so one ended their life to join the other's, and then they could be free

released from the chains of life

and escaping his eternal inner strife
