Desire

We lay beneath the ancient canopies Hand in hand in silence as the world around us became violent Did we cause this despair ? In love and war, is anything fair? A connection so innocent never meaning to repent In time, we will reap what we sow For now, the world doesn't know As it decays under our toes We continue to lay in the glow Of the sun hanging low We loved each other for centuries A warpath we unknowingly chose But still, we lay under canopies Mocked by the stoic dirt We promised never to hurt
