A silent street...

glistening cobbled stones....

witnessing a retreat. ....

defeat....so complete....

strangers. .....

you ...and ...me....

crying....

rain poured down that day...

drops caressing ..

the faces.....

inside....no nowhere near...

to the resolving. ... craved...

you and me...strangers to save...

.

Strangers.....

you....and ...me.....

images.....entwined..

in memories. ......

in a hail of love's sleet..

icy cold...frozen...

emotions harden......

a wall built...never to tilt....

.

hey....strangers. ...passing by...

did you see her cry...?

or his moist eyes.....?

eyes wild..with grief....

no one sees...

blind as chance or fate would be

calling out..somewhere ..to someone

is that you...or me...?

.

Strangers. ....

boots crunching gravel. ...

shrieking. ...loudly grating..

desperate steps. ....

"get far away. ...."

is all they say......

the strangers... you and me..

stare into the ground beneath..

swallowed wholly...

in pain and melancholy . ...

.

A moment's longing...

intense. ..

what you feel ....

believe with all your heart..

be nonchalant. ...be free...

just listen. ....

even if you do not agree...

a nudging whisper pleads..

hey....strangers...

yes....you ..or is it me....?
