Lovers' Carvings

Lovers' names carved in walls
Overlap, start to merge
Some of them underneath
Maybe they appear in graveyards
Maybe they fade away
Weathered and overgrown
Time has told
Meaningful hidden words
Suddenly appear from the murk
Maybe they're telling us
That the end never was
Never will
The words have gone
But the meaning will never
Disappear from the wall.
