What are you? What am I? Separated ghosts, who lie. What are you, if not defeated, but staying alive? What am I, if I didn’t lose my only hope… and my mind? What are you, and what am I, if we never even met, but still stay alike? You are you, and I am I… but now we are in graves, too far to realise.
