The Poison We Prayed For

She walks like a ghost in a wedding veil

Hearts in her hands, already pale

He kissed her soul with shattered breath

Promised forever, danced with death

They were prayers carved in bone

A love that bloomed when left alone

This is the poison we prayed for

A heaven built on a bleeding floor

They called it love, but it felt like grief

Two hearts bound with no relief

She loved him like a final war

He died for what he couldn’t adore

---

He wrote her name in candle wax

Lit every dream, then turned his back

She wore his lies like sacred rings

A holy pain with phantom wings

They whispered vows no angels heard

Just silence screaming every word

She held him close and let him fade

Love is the wound they both obeyed

---

This is the poison we prayed for

With lips too cold to ask for more

They loved in shadows, far from light

Two broken stars that burned too bright

So write their names into the dark

The funeral ends where it once sparked
