THE SPLIT

No matter where I go, Always there I am. I try so hard to lose me Don’t care a tinker’s damn! And then I see my shadow Upon my heels it licks. Oh God what is it I can do?? To get my emotion fix! The heartache it surrounds me My eyes become a well. My thoughts they serenade me The tales I mustn’t tell. Escape I long to do once more But everywhere I go, Memories follow close behind A soap opera TV show. I’m weary for it never ends How long will this go on? Morn and eve the days they pass. I tell myself be strong. I’m only human, this I know I need to understand. These are lessons learned in life Part of God’s large scale plan. I turn to face my spectre self. My soul she can’t outrun. We merge in love’s illumination. The two parts now are one.
