We flew, the two of us
Our wings
Took us higher
And higher,
Soaring on thermals of sniggers
And stifled laughter
Snide remarks
Sarcastic chatter
We could spot them from afar;
Our twin minds tearing them apart
Finding the humour
Where they found their sneers
Not one of them had a chance
Back to back, we were fierce
Nobody could touch us
Anyone who brought shadows was banished
Broken down
Bit by bit
Punished
For daring to divert the sun
From a face that was made for sunshine
Made of sunshine
We weren't wrong,
We were protectors
Of the sunlight
Of the brightness
Of each other
Untouchable
Unreachable
Un--
Till a breeze at my back woke me
Till my wings lost strength
Till, tumbling to earth
Surrounded by silence
I opened my eyes
And saw you miles below
Disintegrating
Dust to dust...
We were so busy fighting the world
We forgot to guard ourselves.
Against ourselves.
