Together Alone in the dark
they lay side by side
with nothing left to say
the words between them
vanished
at the end of the day
like the breath of a dying man
it is no more
what once made the heart beat
now gone forever more

each remembering
and wondering
why it went away
not asking the other though
there was nothing left to say
the years between them
the love
vanished that day

He was he, she was she
though not like before
the bridge between collapsed
they will cross no more
so they lay side by side
together alone
fretting
what has become
of this land
we call home?
