Always
Inside a small, dark and quiet gloom
Two men sat, in different rooms
This is how it was, as it never changed or shifted
Their eyes always locked together, eyelids lifted
=
The man on the right, sat in anguish and despair
For the man on the left, his face did bare
A sickening and grotesque abundance of decay
Which the man on the right, was subject to day, after day
=
The man on the left, his neck was broken
Ear against his shoulder, eyes awoken
And though his lips were fixed in a bloody frown
To the man on the right, he was smiling, upside down
=
And with that horrifying face it leered
The epitome of his most darkest fears
But no matter how hard he tried to avert his eyes
They sat there motionless, deaf to his mute cries
=
Though no sound came from either room
Thousands of voices whispered in his tomb
And silently screamed their words of death
To be rid once and for all, the man on the left
=
So with a heave and a heavy sigh
He lifted himself up with a silent cry
And with eyes never moving, to his surprise
The man on the left he too did rise
=
Now on their feet, they maintained their stare
Bringing up those feelings of hate and despair
Until upon gathering all of their strength
They ran at each other, their arms out straight
=
And with a crash of shards of glass
The man on the right's body did amass
Onto the cold and glittering floor below
His body broken, as his blood began to flow
=
And in a shard of glass before his eye
The man on the right, began to cry
For in the reflection of that white shard
The man on the left stared back hard
=
Inside a small, dark and quiet gloom
Two men lay, in the same room
This is how it was, as it never changed or shifted
Their eyes always locked together, eyelids lifted
=
Always
