Juliet's Vile

 



Draped over me. 

  Saturated. 

 No sound at all but violins 

  and compounding heartbeats, 

Distant and thrashing.

 Closer and nearer. 



Ripened vile upon my chest

  The night and elixir grow colder 


Sipping my sweet to meet you

  In death as we'd always foretold.

I put this vile upon my lips, no saviors in life's thresh


But for in death, I might see you again, 

Rather than dying here 

  and growing of old.
