I Am Her

By LoLa The things they never shared They loved like no one cared The smile lines were growing thin As drifting eyes began to win “We’re growing old” they used to say The twilight years where skin decays She wanted to feel a hand in hers I wanted to see where stars emerge She sees no stars in the sky at night A girl and a girl, with love they fight She finds herself alone, adrift and cold Lonely as She is, She takes herself to hold A little bolder; She gladly holds the weight Standing on my her own to face the coming fate Hand in hand, She holds the dream of a girl Like they are the only two souls in the world She holds her close a love unseen Another night another dream
