Two Pens

A piece of blank paper
Two pens
A white
A black
Drawing lines
Straight and crooked
Circles and triangles.
Pens seem to fight
Now and then writing a letter
A comma an exclamation 
More often a question 
But no periods…
The pens are losing blood
The lines thinner and thinner
Pens seem to pause
There a full stop.
Ending the last chapter
Of the book of life.
