Side by side, we sat <br /> the tension there once was <br /> has faded like <br /> the sounds of our laughter <br /> <br />the look in our eyes is of <br /> nothingness <br /> <br />we are the strangers we <br />didn't know we could become <br /> <br />strangers, we have become <br /> and still we cannot tell <br /> the difference <br /> between holding hands <br />and <br /> hand-holding. <br /> <br />side by side, we sit <br /> <br />strangers <br />there is nothing here <br /> nothing <br />and the hand I am holding, <br /> the hand that remains, <br /> <br />is my own.<br /><br />Jude Warner Laserna<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/side-by-side-11/
