One hand

always stretched out

for another

One bears the ache

that grows less bothersome

The other bears the hate

that tends to fester and grow,

an ugly wart of sorts

Both live

life intertwined

They know of life's burdens

but they also know of life's joys

One must deal with the physical remnant of his life,

the other the mental

Two twins,

both lost within

and together

through every obstacle.
