Cloaked in a layer of frost
They can hardly talk
Only glare through each other,
When their ragged roads cross
Far apart on safe ground
Memories are a shroud
Fallen over them
Honest
Freeing screams to resound
The twin thieves
Twin liars
Guard their evils in armor,
Both fearful and vain
Until their day on the pyre
Few words are spared
In the midnight blue
From either passing vessel,
The silence shared
Rings true
