Two Strangers Part Two

Two Strangers met
And accidentally fell in as more than lovers

We had different demons but matching wounds,
And sad past tales to tell

Two broken souls
Trying to find some guidance home within each other

Sadly,
The echos of fear, ego, and past trauma were too great
Destruction and self-sabotage got in the way
We became lost

From drowning in your gaze
Skin to skin
To drowning in your absence

Another scar to add to the map
Out in the cold again
At war with my head again

Two Strangers met
And fell in as more than lovers
But Love is war
Life is chaos
And two lovers became two strangers again.
