FRIENDS FOREVER

My childhood friend -
my girl next door.
She sleeps in my heart
as I do in hers.
We snugly dream
together a world of ours
and it's sparkling manifestations :
beach sand and spades -
as well as songs and silence.
Yet this nest is a tomb
where both are dead to the world.
They grieve
causing their hearts a common arrhythmia.
