Us Poem by Alison Smith

Why should our union work?
How can our two lives come together?
What commitment must we make?
Can it really be?

He has such a long life to live.
She has lived almost all of them.
Can this union work?
Can they make a life from this?

He is tormented by his past.
She has nightmares that wont go away.
Is this the foundation of love?
Or just two souls seeking strength.

They both live in solitude.
Afraid to speak or mix.
Would they be right to unite?
Or is their relationship a dream.

They both want the best for each other.
They both cant live without the other.
Their minds and souls are one.
And yet they are so far apart.

What is US?

Is US just a cyber thing?
Can US ever be real life?
Her heart hopes that it can be.
