As twins we created an era

Swallowed by sand and time we play
Symbolizing the overwhelming nature of the environment and the passage of time.
What began as an epic
Describing the relationship's start as something grand or epic.
Ended a parched pathetic
Expressing disappointment as the relationship concludes in a dry and unremarkable manner.
Arid and vapid like our attachments

Oh in the desert you sucked my finger

It wasn't meant to be, it was like water from leather

So in my desert what was the nature of your visit to my domain
