Walking the Divide

Loneliness as deep as the darkest ocean

Laps at my soul and I can only watch.

I stare with glazed eyes as it eats away

Piece by piece,

Soon I will be left with nothing.

 

Deep within this self-destructive whirlwind

You appear bearing only a heart full of love.

I stare with glazed eyes as you put me back together

Piece by piece

Soon I will be back to normal.

 

With only one effervescent shard left missing

You look over your shoulder to see a ghost from your past,

I stare with glazed eyes as you walk away

Step by step

Now I am left with nothing.

 

Returning to the deepest, darkest ocean

Deep with the self-destructive whirlwind

I stare with glazed eyes at nothing in particular

Step by step

I approach the line where life and death meet

 

Step by step

I walk the divide, holding on to myself

Trying to keep what is left of my soul intact.

Piece by piece

I feel it fuse back together leaving an ever-enduring scar.

 

Nearly back to life again

I can see the brilliant light just over the horizon.

I know I can make it without you, this time.

Step by step

Piece by Piece

I will be complete again.
