The Wall Between Us (Inspired by Pyramus & Thisbe)

The brick blockade stands tall,

My love is severed by this wall,

My heart broken into two—

The only remedy is a kiss from you.

 

Ill met by torturous moonlight,

A lioness guarding the tree in sight,

It bears its teeth, and I flee fast,

If only I had known that day would be our last.

 

Your corpse so wretched and sad,

(I think I have finally gone mad)

His is the sword I chose to die on

And now we'll never see another dawn.

    Outside it is snowing—a cotton cover,
