Submissions

  • Doubletime

    And then there were two.

    Two hearts, two stories.

    Two lives intertwined.

    Doubletime.

    Flushed with the blue of sadness

    And the hue of love, at the edge

    Out of the way

    Out of reach.

    a group of close-knit friends, who'd sit together, laugh together, sometimes even cry together. 

    but something changed in us, maybe we changed.

  • Three to Two

    We were birds of a feather, and we stuck together

    And then there were Two.

    And then there were two,

    Waiting.

    Watching.

    Two kids - teenagers - then young adults.

    On different sides of the same story.
