Poetry written by a Borderline

Kindred Souls

Every waking moment

your love has given me strength.

To see you smile,

to see you thrive,

I am driven.

I remember-

the day we first met.

The kindness you showed me.

I am lost without you.

I cherish you like no other.

I remember seeing you alone,

building up the courage to befriend you.

The world was pure.

You brought me hope when I had none.

I adore you-

every waking moment.

Our world was pure.

I am lost without you.

The years have brought us closer,

and we held Eden in our hands.

But that world has now crumbled

and the sun shines no more.

You and I,

we breathe, we live,

but mortal humanity has long left us.

The doors are melted shut-

but the gates have opened for us.

We hear their screaming,

but,

we are not afraid-

we are together.

We loved this world.

We loved each other.

Hand in hand,

into the darkness.
