Deconstruct her face to rebuild anew
Replace pale skin with grey
As eyes of fire turn to ash
Together we bled in the twilight
Leprosy disintegrated wax-paper souls
Most everything I'd held--crumbling
We danced as if in love
But this was merely a facade
To hold us through the longest of days
Kissing my black lips made me feel alive
Yet still my pulse remained vacant
Cutting through my flesh left no blood
Just swelling of any other corpse
In life I held individuality above all else
Now in death all are one
