Twin dreamers

We who cast long shadows,
 We the children of the night.

We who have remained in the darkness
 Do we dare embrace the light?

Darkness pulses through our veins
 and down into our very core

There once was a time when our dreams did soar

Among the night sky, each dream  represented by a shining star

But one by one they went out and grew far

We fought so hard for every hope we gave it our best
Until we thought our hearts would burst out of our chest

We feared the eternal night that would come if we ever took a rest
We sacrificed everything to stop this blight

Now only two remain in that blanket of twilight 

One with a shade of red,
 Much like the crown the sun wears upon her head

The other blue like ice , standing against the storm
No matter the cost nor the price

Take faith my friend and look about 

Not all lights are destined to go out
Take my hand and join the fight
So that together we can embrace the light
