Between Us Poem by Jessica Amburgey

A darkened grave
illuminated with
unearthly light.

Between them are worlds.
Within them a universe.

Together with radiance
combined with what
can never be.
Separated by eternity.

In the dark
fire rages uncontrollably,
and the light
becomes twisted and vacant.

Both trapped by a
hell of their own making,
consumed by a passion
to release it.

Within both a screaming,
a pleading.
and yet silence
between us...
