Revival
They were two broken bodies built of busted parts
He was depression and disgust
She was suffering and savagery
They both were born bitter, burned from brutality
He was declared to die, doomed to decay
She was sentenced to suffocate and shatter in silence
They bleakly existed too burdened from breathing
He dreamed of disappearing into desire
She sought sanctuary to slip from the shadows
They believed their bruised beings couldn't find beauty
He dove in her darkness, dumbstruck by the delicacy
She stared at his smiles, surprised by the simplicity
They both bonded blithely because they were barren
He drew dark colored daisies dangling from stars
She screamed his song softly straight to his soul
They were two buoyant bodies built of brightness
He was determination and devotion
She was sunshine and strength
