The Forsaken

by Mohammed Fawaz
(Lorton, Virginia)

I am your Romeo
And you are my Juliet.
I walk the night
As you walk the day.
Our worlds both at war
But you and I stay.
I crave your blood
Yet you can’t keep away.
Come to the darker side of life
Where I shall make you my wife.
I will show you a world without end
Where the night is our friend.
I am the darkness within
For I am the forsaken.
My heart is as cold as ice
Your heart burns like the sun.
Our love for each other
Keeps us on the run.
Should anyone know of our passion
It would start a chain reaction.
The only way for us to be together
Is if you were to live forever.
Come to the darker side of life
Where I shall make you my wife.
I will show you a world without end
Where the night is our friend.
I am the darkness within
For I am the forsaken.
