Mercury

i'd love to feel close to my maker
my siblings, far away as if they hate her
it's tough to be the youngest son
when everyone else has gone

though my body is small and cold
My mother still has a tight hold
Though one day i'll be consumed
with no sentient life to be removed

the darkness splits my life in two
my other side has turned into
a day that lasts most of the year
when the full eclispe is drawing near

I never left, I had no chance
to make life at a distance
I feel alone though she's watching me
her endless glow burns me

Venus

so close but it hurts me to be near
the solar light burns my atmosphere
my life began much the same as you
but i failed my first test unlike you

we meet only at the strangest times
our paths cross but we move on seperate lines
if my childhood had been different
i could perhaps be sentient

My names revered through history
our ancient lives a mystery
your darkened twin near hells gate
suffers a darker clouded fate

and though our climate is different
our similar fate is immenent
just before all we know explodes
our mother swallows up our souls
