Alone Together
Two figures conversate
in whispers so soft so only they can hear.
Hunched shoulders, leaning close,
only inches apart.
So afraid, so very afriad.
Of everything-- of the entire world.
Only they and they alone can they trust.
They are alone together in their quest
relying so much on the other to catch them when they fall--
So afraid of losing one another.
They stay so close now, so very close.
Promising without words.
I will be here always for you.
As you will always be there for me.
Thier world is such an unstable thing.
Constantly threatening to throw them into the deep.
It's no wonder they stay so close.
Speaking in a way in their world
only they understand.
