Strange Wanderers

A Poem

Two lost souls

Having lost all control

Tugging on one another

Tethered together by wonder

Loss

Betrayal

Of the heart

Of the mind

Letting it all bleed through their art

Circling around the same point

Distant, yet near

Finding freedom in their fear

Emotions

Scattered like stars

On the waves

Crashing all around

Locked in an eternal embrace

Never to hold each other
