Two Paths

Folder: 
Loss

When we met it was sparks,
Igniting inside something long lost.
Nothing did I feel come close to this,
Intense and utter joy.

Inseparable we were,
Form the first day.
I couldn't get enough of you,
In every single way.

I lived to be with you,
To make you happy and smile.
Because my heart melted,
When I felt your warmth.

We talked for hours,
About nothing and everything.
Just holding hands while slept,
Was all the comfort I needed.

Then it happened in such a horrible way,
It all stopped and went away.
I was lost, I was drowning,
In this void I now call life.

Where do I go, what do I do,
When all I want is just you.
I'd do anything, with no limits,
To get you back in my arms.

Lower and lower we kept falling,
further and further we drifted.
No matter the struggle and fight,
I couldn't get back to you.

You say you love me,
But you always push me away.
You say you want to be with me,
But you never even stay.

 

You say you want to share my life,
But only what you choose.
You say we're a team,
But I always seem to lose.

Why can't we just be happy,
With the lives that we have.
Two lives to share,
But I only see my half.

Stop fighting and let me in,
It'll be OK I swear.
You'll always be safe with me,
You have nothing to fear.

Why can't we just be happy,
With the lives that we have.
Two lives to share,
But I only see my half.

Now you're gone and I'm alone,
All I wanted was you in my home.
I can't stop, I don't know why.
It hurts not having you by my side.

But I must go on without you,
Keep trudging this road.
All the memories of happiness,
To help me bear this load.

Why can't we just be happy,
With the lives that we have.
Two lives to share,
But I only see my half.

We were meant to be together,
Grow old with each other.
Laughing and smiling, happy and loving,
You were the other half to my soul.

 

How does heart torn apart continue beating,
When all it wants to do is stop.
How does a soul continue living,
With only half to go on.

Why can't we just be happy,
The way we know how.
Why can't we have each other,
One life instead of two.
