Together we are
When will we learn?
When will we see?
That separate we are nothing,
And we will never be.
One as equals two,
One body two spirits.
Two motives so vile,
Two to reach its limits.
No ways to combine,
No ways to disconnect.
Forever we are together,
A shape we can’t perfect.
Distorted and incomplete,
But whole all the same.
Not together nor apart,
sharing an eternity of shame.
A companion in our misfortune,
An accomplice to our misery.
We can’t live without,
We can’t set us free.
Eternally bound and cursed,
Never truly whole nor detached.
Circling each other like vultures,
We are equally matched.
