Her white, brittle bones 
glimmer, 
under the mask of the moonlight.
Her eye sockets,
dark with shadows,
perfectly sunken in.
She waits.
So pretty.
In the graveyard.
Beneath the leafless trees.
Too many lonely years without her.
Missing her.
My quivery bones,
buckle at her beauty.
Each step,
closer.
I reach for her hand.
She reaches for mine. 
We meet again.
Some called it young love.
I called it forever.
We creep away,
Hand in hand.
Into the shadows.
Two skeletons.
One Halloween night.
