Two exist where one remained
As two had before
Lightning through the eyes when they stood
Worn and spun thin to thread
Scanning each other up and down
The impressions of their teeth found
In scars between them
Landmarks to the past
One speaks and the other listens
And then again
A simple action turned into a masterpiece
A performance you've waited your entire life for
And where there was once blood there is a tear
Sliding down their skin
And where their bones cracked is a fuse
Right where yours is
And the stern face projected for an eternity
Played back in fictional absolution
Collapses into a smile
Returned without hesitation
