Two Pillars

There are two pillars standing side by side
Each ravaged by the time that they spent here.
Pretending that they are full of some pride
Lonely and hoping that they'll soon die here.

They wish to crumble—sweet oblivion—
Nowhere to go now, nothing to stand on.
At last they do fall, their cores crumble in
They fall to each other—they can go on.

Thus now they stand: Together, side by side.
Leaning and loving, and with each other.
These two pillars live, and love was their guide
And now as they lean there, fear won’t bother.

There are two pillars standing side by side.
And thus they stand: Together, side by side.


If you're wondering about the weird style, its a sonnet. A sonnet is 14 lines in length. Each line contains 10 syllables, and each verse rhymes alternately except for the last two lines, which form a couplet. And thus the weird style. But I like it, although it definately needs some work.
