Catacombs

My bones lie far

from where yours rest

oh, how I wish they’d intertwine.

I shuffled off this mortal coil alone,

your hand not held in mine.

First they called us impure,

they called us sinful filth,

they may us feel unsure,

in the love we had kept.

In my arms you once slept,

they tore us apart, took you away,

beat us bruised til we wept.

They called us daughters of the devil,

witches filled with spells.

They said we murdered cattle

and poisoned all the wells.

They took us to the gallows,

and loaded us with sin.

I prayed at least in death,

I’d hold you yet again.

Yet our spirits wander cooridoors,

one another cannot reach.

The energies of other souls,

have begun to leech.

I pray someday the world end,

and these catacomb walls bust.

So we can be reunited,

together in stardust.
