This Chill
Two survivors
 Struggling
 In the dark
 To break free
 Of their chains
 Refusing to give in
 Refusing to relent
 Until our steel boxes
 Begin to mold
 Into one
 
 Side by side
 We sit
 No cool steel
 Between us
 Anymore
 Though our chains
 Still keep us
 Apart
 If only one of us
 Was strong enough
 
 In our box
 Room is scarce
 The closer we become
 As time passes
 The closer we become though
 The happier I am
 To share the space
 To breathe the same air
 As you
 
 The company
 of the other
 Is precious to us
 Thankful
 That at least
 Another bears
 The same burdens
 And that a relationship
 So strong is formed
 That we have shared
 Everything
 Without speaking
 A single word
 
 Alone we shiver
 A boy and a girl
 Struggling
 To warm each other
 Because we alone
 Experience
 This Chill
