You and I

You and i, caged in our separate lives. Eyes meet across the street. Strangers to each other. Mirrors reflecting these words. Yours and mine. Can you hear them? Swirling currents flowing past each other. The thunder of the water splashing on the rocks down below, drowning out all sound. And the songs You sing to me, and I to you, sink into the shadows until nothing is left. But down in the hollows, a hydra grows on our sorrows, feeding off these pipe dreams between Us.

I see the mirrors. I hear the sea crashing on the rocks. Smother the hydra. - Alan
