4.

we've become

two lost and lonely children

together

in one another's arms

kindred spirits

with misbegotten pasts

playing

in the privacy of our souls

no longer separate entities

tied together

as if we were one

hiding

together

in our long lived

infancy

from the cruelness

and the cold

of the world

seeking refuge

in our mutual

warmth
