Well, this is basically a story that is told through two character's prospectives. By two lovers.
It's a confession, from the both of them. Pretty Ironic actually.
-------------------------------------------------
Oh darling, darling,
It seems you've found me out!
My hands are stained with crimson red.
I can't control my lust for the dead.
I bury my problems in the basement
They're sleeping underground
I just can't stand to sleep alone
So I like to keep them around.
They, sleep, under me.
In the ground
Right where they should be.
Don't you look at me!
I can just taste the hate,
There's nothing here to be done.
Darling it's too late.
It's not like it used to be,
When my heart was clean,
And my mind was free
But that's all changed now.
Every thing's changed now!
It's just one more,
It's just one more
That's what I said.
It's just one more
It's just one more
That's what I said.
So now close your eyes,
And hold your breath
The time has come,
To join the rest.
Don't you dare look me in the eye,
Makes it much easier
Please don't cry.
Makes it much easier.
Flesh and bone's overrated anyway,
There's nothing here for us,
At the end of the day.
There's plenty to
keep you company down there.
They are old rotten.
So just don't stare,
Just don't stare,
Just don't stare!
My hands aren't as clean as you think either,Darling
You may keep them underground,
But where I put the bodies,
They'll never be found.
Then will you take my life my love?
And bury me deep,
For I fear that if my grave is shallow,
I may not stay asleep.
We can both rest down there,
For I don't like to sleep alone,
We can pretend like we were happy
And make the ground our home.
It's as cold as our hearts.
So we will finally feel like we belong.
I may be many things,
But one of them certainly isn't strong.
I just can't live with what I've done anymore.
They haunt me continuously at night.
My tainted soul poisons my mind,
It's grip is painfully tight.
Join me at the bottom of this hole.
I dug it extra deep.
Here is where we will hold each other.
Here is where we will forever sleep.

Good day AnAbstractHeart,
I really enjoyed this but there are some things you may need to edit.
corrections/suggestions in bold
I can't figure out who's who...it is a husband and wife, yes? I really liked this it was truly fascinating :]
Good luck with future pieces, these one could probably become really great with some editing.
I'm so glad i took my time to read it, have a great day ;]
With all due respect,
