Back to back
They hung us naked
Back to back
On a cross of wood
Back to back
So we might suffer and die together
Back to back
But still apart
Back to back
We strain and struggle
Back to back
We cry and moan
Back to back
Only a narrow wooden stipe between us
Back to back
Twisting and turning, trying to touch
Back to back
Feet and ankles bound together
Back to back
On either side of our wooden stipe
Back to back
Wrists bound together on top the patibulum
Back to back
Fingers searching and clenching in desperate embrace
Back to back
Our naked flanks touching
Back to back
As we twist and writhe and turn
Back to back
Heads resting together side by side
Back to back
Her fair hair brushing my neck and shoulder
Back to back
Turning to look
Back to back
Into each others eyes
Back to back
Whispered words between gasps for breath
Back to back
Words of regret and everlasting love
Back to back
Heartache and pain collide
Back to back
Gaze diverted to the horror of the cross
Back to back
Exhaustion, pain and misery
Back to back
We die together, we die alone
They hung us naked
Back to back
On a cross of wood
Back to back
So we might suffer and die together
Back to back
But still apart
Back to back
We strain and struggle
Back to back
We cry and moan
Back to back
Only a narrow wooden stipe between us
Back to back
Twisting and turning, trying to touch
Back to back
Feet and ankles bound together
Back to back
On either side of our wooden stipe
Back to back
Wrists bound together on top the patibulum
Back to back
Fingers searching and clenching in desperate embrace
Back to back
Our naked flanks touching
Back to back
As we twist and writhe and turn
Back to back
Heads resting together side by side
Back to back
Her fair hair brushing my neck and shoulder
Back to back
Turning to look
Back to back
Into each others eyes
Back to back
Whispered words between gasps for breath
Back to back
Words of regret and everlasting love
Back to back
Heartache and pain collide
Back to back
Gaze diverted to the horror of the cross
Back to back
Exhaustion, pain and misery
Back to back
We die together, we die alone
