He Said She Said

He said, " Were I a woman "
She sighed, " Were I a man "
they held each other
to gently whisper
" I'll give of what I can "

And so the simple sunset
left complex lovers sit
unlike the day before them
they'd found no home in it

For this the uncut diamond
clung to the basic coal
unsure of what's before them
and frightened to be told
