Twins

By Gauri Verma

There are poems 'n tales 
Of a girl finding her home
In husky eyes, soft smile
And a gentle tone
His arms are the welcome mat
And his torso the door 
Her soul so lost 
Found itself for evermore 

But what of her twin
That stumbled across many 
She paid in tears 
And to some in pennies 
Called each she met her own
For each felt like home 

Home, to her, was everything 
Besides those lonely nights 
Tucked in her bed 
Listening in on the fights

Home was anything but four walls 
Where you never heard the three words
It wasn't two faced or two sided 
Full of cowards 

Home was the one that saw just her
Intentions never thought of 
For one glance meant she existed 
And that feeling left her aloft
