Gambit Life

Alone we sleep distance apart
Solitary we reap crisscrossing our paths
Yet we complete our lives
Residing in each others heart

Thoughts of you never leave my mind
Heart of mine beats your life
Strangers we become in life
As time passes by

We remnant in the past
Casting shadows in dark
Thwarting the light
From illuminating our sight

Locked in ourselves
Rummaging the truth
Blinded by the portrayal
Our astuteness could weave

Parallel we survive
Not acknowledging the certainty
Decreeing destiny
To play its part

Yet we stalk in reverse
Now taking a chance
To amalgamate our lives
Awaiting the fatality ahead
