    no facsimile

    where is the existence
    of true love
    between two beds
    made up of our own
    on opposite walls
    running parallel
    questions were answered
    by you
    coming from my side
    although I heard them
    I find holes in some
    but I received them
    just the same
    the borders were drawn
    although I wanted
    and I wanted
    to creep around it
    I remained on my side
    for one reason alone
    respect
    so...yes
    there is only one copy
    of you
    but even I know
    battles can't be won
    for us
    if we're not available
    to win

    Coexistence comes to mind. A terrible way to go thru life. So many do , for many different reasons; security, the kids, no place else to go, etc ... You captured this perfectly in this poem. Another Great Job!

    Poetry is what gets lost in translation.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
