They loved
An aching love
Full and bleeding with passion
Her heart beat to his song
And they danced through life
To blues tipped tunes
Fighting to prove their love
To all that doubted

Until he slipped
Tripped up on reality
The sadness consumed him
And he fell
With a blood curdling scream
To the bottom of nowhere
Leaving her behind

She tried to jump too
Beating her bloody fists to the ground
But the hole that sucked him in
Was unable to be found

Despair clawed at her
With razors bought from a two dollar shop
Until she was scarred
From the inside out

I told you so’s
Ripped at her heart
And the doubters smiled with the knowledge of their victory
