I am two halves of two people
Who cannot find each other
Who are lost
Am I to be an empty body forever hosting two wild hearts
Beating in different rhythms
Belonging to other parts
I am a house with two masters
Where a warm fireplace burns bright
Words are strewn across the space
Paint and brushes by the light
Many tales are held here
All safe and fair
But while one lies content in this space
In runs the other in frantic despair
Not enough!
Not enough!
This is not enough!
And so the incessant commotion begins:
Yes, it is you old fool
Take your lonesome,
Your fear
And your thoughts somewhere else
There will be no peace as long as we both live here
Then why do you not leave?
Take all of your books
Your stories
Your ideas
Your wistful looks
You cannot live in those worlds
And will die alone here
If you stop playing these silly games
There is a normal life near
See here,
Why should I want this normal you speak of?
Though I have my sadness
I am happy where I am
Time as we know it
Is a thorn in our side
It takes without reason
It goes out with the tide
I do not want your normal
Which steals from mine
Can you not see it is already being swallowed away?
Please leave me be
Here in my fine line
Take your normal elsewhere
I take joy in mine
