Love Never Dies

Creaking stairs linger on the breeze
Softly glowing waning twilight
The daisies wilting in their vase
Sneakily creeping is the night
Paper crumpled on scarlet desk
Ink less pen; memories of past
In the groans of the tall house
You can still hear her gentle laugh
Moon rises into the milky stars
Rippling lake mirroring the sky
Window flung open he stares outside
Full of emotion screams "love never dies"

[and the earth stands still for a moment in time]

She sits in her room many miles away
Still patiently awaiting his call
But she never hears from him anymore
She wonders why they took this fall
Barefoot walks down stairs to go out the door
Stands there staring at luminous moon
Wishing she could be with him again
And hoping to see him sometime soon
Her eyes well up and her heart aches
She wonders if loves just a four letter lie
Then she sinks to her knees in the grass
And whispers softly "love never dies"

[while the grandfather clock softly chimes a melody]

His torn heart can bleed for not one more day
Her mind can't control her on moment longer
They both pretend to find some sort of hope
But neither is getting any stronger
In this cruel and unyielding reality
They are just getting hopelessly weak
She dies a little inside at each thought
And he can no longer even speak
She finally breaks down and does nothing but cry
He screams voice cracking "it was all just a lie"
With their last breath as on the ground they collapse
Whisper softly; "today, love dies at long long last"

[with their last agony they join in bitter remorse for each other]
