In the End

There were, Two skies I born to one You were to the other. We were separate dawns. My sky, Was as black to you As yours was to me Neither of us could see. Although, I know It wouldn't have even mattered We never would have talked. Our faces turn to chalk And our stares Despite it all, Still glare. Rain falls, I know, How it drenches, Covers unseen desert. It fills hidden trenches. We share, More than I could care, Your smell fills the air But I don't know you're there. And you know I know I don't think it would've even mattered. Our shadows never talk. Even now as I walk, It follows Despite it all, Slow crawl.
