Surrounded by four grey walls, he sits alone.
No familiar faces look down on him.
No sounds of children laughing envelope him.
He sits alone.
His punishment for a petty crime he did for them.
Surrounded by portraits of smiling children. She sits alone.
The sound of laughing children envelope her.
Yet she sits alone.
Her punishment for loving her man.
Her soul is in the room with four grey walls.
She craves his touch, his voice, his whole being.
She thirsts for kisses that will quench her arid body.
But she is alone.
He hungers for her soul next to his own.
Her beating heart in rhythm with his lonely one.
But he is alone.
Nothing will make things better.
Only when once more they will be together.
Two hearts, two souls, two bodies, but yet one being.
Cause what God has joint together.
Let no man put asunder.
Ella
