The service was so beautiful;
Communion cups were passed.
And from the light we saw that day,
The bond was sure to last.
But in the haze of drunkenness
With spirits flowing fast,
Their love gave way to skeletons
And shadows of the past…

I assume they died in a car accident because of the “skeletons”, but drunkenness could even separate the living.

shadows
of skeletons
in cultural clothes..
and often no need for

drugs..
all can be fulfilled
as Nature without clothes..

Drunkenness can kill people in so many different ways…as I’ve witnessed first hand. Such an ugly, senseless death.
Nice rhyming.
