Two Lovers

Two lovers sitting alone

With tears on their face-

Too much said and done

For time to erase.

Two hearts hurting

Over painful pasts-

Struggling too often

To make this one last.

Two worlds colliding

With no room to grow-

Both wanting and fearing

To just let it all go.

Two people too stubborn

They push and they pull-

Caught loving then hating

Eyes empty, mouths full.

Two chances too many

Yet never enough-

Skeletons keep piling

Waters churning and rough.

Two minds one in sync

Now a dissonant noise-

Without use, without place

Like ones' childhood toys.

Two strands of fate interwoven

Now falling away and apart-

Due to loss of faith, or perhaps

Just changes of heart.

Two lovers sitting alone

With tears on their face-

Where once there lived magic

Exists only empty spaceā€¦
