Duality

The pain I see in the back of your eyes

As you stare at me

Shaves years off my face and puts razors

In my blood

It sets the acid inside my stomach on fire

And arthritisizes my joints

The stare I send you sees deep in

Through the window

I can alleviate our pain with a word, an action or a kiss

So close, yet galaxies apart

Your eyes show your heart, I send my heart

In hopes that our hearts will beat as one

And that our torture may end

And that my sheepish ways may end

And that we become singular

And that the stars above form and bend for us
