In this eternal twilight, where silence speaks a thousand words,
Two souls entwined in the forbidden dance of surreptitious chords.
Her lover - a beacon of hope in the festering night,
His enemy - a specter of malice, effusing plight.
Their war, a stage for their clandestine affair to unfurl,
Love - the insurgent, as two worlds begin to swirl.
In the depths of the abyss, they find solace in a caress,
Tracing the contours of a love too perilous to confess.
As battles rage and fervor exudes from every pore,
Their whispers coalesce, a symphony amidst the roar.
He - her adversary in the public eye,
Becomes her paramour under the starless sky.
With every secret rendezvous, their yearning grows more wild,
Devotion painted on their skins, in the hues of the reviled.
Her lover - the enemy, the truth they must suspend,
For in this war of hearts, love must masquerade as the end.
But as dawn beckons and the world awakens to the light,
They must don their masks of foe, disguising their plight.
Their love, now a ballad whispered by the nocturnal breeze,
A bond sealed in shadow, that no daylight can seize.
