Parallel

They go forward in life 

Along a parallel 

 

He walks alone 

Clutching his guitar 

 

She walks in peace 

Finally knowing her worth 

 

Each one knowing 

They mirrored the other 

 

And each are embedded 

On the other's journey 

 

Every song and poem 

Voiced their shared pain 

 

No more shared glances 

Belong in this world 

 

Just echoes of shadowed fantasies 

Linger for the next realm
