My first riddle here..some words might give it away..but here goes.
Every day and every night
They bring us close
Only to again tear us apart
We've heard words of joy and squeals of shame
When, oh so cruelly, we have lived separate
Joined only by a cord or a ringed rod we hate
And we have been drawn many times
And many a writer has made us fall
But we have borne and shall bear it all
Until the blind men shall take our place
And we shall be discarded as waste
But together in the end
Together at last
