Two People

Two people sharing the same loss
Unable to talk
Two people with childhood memories
Two pieces of a puzzle
That should fit, completing a story of
What was but for some reason they
Refuse to interlock
Two people sitting at opposite sides
Of a room each grieving in their
Own way
Two people growing old with nothing
In common except long passed days.
Two people unable to express the
Closeness of lives once shared that
Now are lost forever deemed as
Relegated to the past.
