Till Death Do Us Part

Bond by rings eternal, till death do us part

Rings fall from fingers, hearts cease to start

Souls linked together, as long as we have life

Yet somehow I died and loss my wife

It begins with the finality of death do us part

An allusion to failure from the start 

Caustically crisp, concise contract of I Do

A curse if never uttered may have saved you

Till death do us part means I’m an Undead

Seeking love I’ll never find to keep my soul fed

A ravenous zombie, hopeless and lost

Praying my innocent loves don’t pay the cost

Till death do us part, simply a fallacy 

A Union that ups relationship mortality 

I wish my soulless eyes saw this happening

Then I would have loved you eternally, without that wedding ring

Muscle Memory

It takes 5-53 muscles to smile

Heartbreak only requires 1

With you I could handle any work any style 

Without you my soul is done

Muscles withered and wasting away

A soul too weak to thrive

A dead love that kept darkness at bay

A heart ruptured and barely alive

The muscles remember when things were good

They ache for those days to return

But the soul has weakened more than it should

Now the muscles eternally burn

Weakness is my way for a while

No strength to even look to the sun…

It takes 5-53 muscles to smile….

…Heartbreak only requires 1.
