Alone/Together

All the nooks in this town are full tonight,

the ones that were empty only a month ago,

the coat closets and cots, the lot of them stood alone,

quiet and lonely,

like me.

Now, the windows are alight before the stars,

there is nowhere to hide here, all of the cars wait in line

and I slowly decide that under the sky,

we will be laid bare

and even the ink we've bled for

and hammered into our skin

disappears, leaving us clean,

like the day we were born.

There is power in my moon,

I only ask

and the Universe allows me

I use her to pull you in

closer, I see

the age in your face

my spirit is timeless,

I do not die.

There is no original sin, only original sinners

and they are now few and far between.

The days have come, we are no longer

stuck in the middle but propelled outward,

hurtling through space

with nothing to grasp but our own hands

together.

Alone, two people, you and I.

There is no original sin, only original sinners
and they are now few and far between.

Above lines were honest and original, the whole read was good...but above lines were essence of your poem. Good job my friend
