we were doomed since we met

coiling like snakes around despair

sucking black milk from the breast of the earth

we were doomed since we kissed

waiting for extinction, last of the pack

howling together but always alone

we placed our hope in darkness

our hope was dark as forest soil

our hearts were shattered before we knew it

last of the moon children

too deep in love to see mistakes

too filled with pain to try another way
