the marks you left on my heart
slowly fade away
a choke chain
broken apart
day by day by day

I used to believe

one day

I will meet my soulmate
and we will love each other
just the way we are

one day

I don't believe that anymore

but it's okay

you came into my life
and I have never been the same

you crossed into my mind
and now my shadow has a name

I burn so bright
when you're with me
and even when you're gone

your darkness follows me
each time I walk toward the Sun

     opposition     yin and yang
        aligned      intertwined

seven  ★ seven
constellations
form one single sign

you haunt the hollows of my soul
and echo like a song

I look back from the Sun
and you have been there all along

Her head lies heavy across my chest
both grasping for closeness
her breath in rhythm with my breath
both intimately silent
her heart aches as mine aches
both dreading the distance
we are One
masquerading as two in separation
not yet noticing
Life’s infinite unfolding
we remain forever entangled;
lost in Love’s dream
of endlessly pursuing Itself
in the other

Have you ever died from heartache?

Watched as grief spilled
over the edge of love
drowning the very essence
that makes you whole

Have you ever died from heartache?

Sinking into the sea
of emptiness
consumed by the darkness
as your soul fades away

Have you ever died from heartache?

Gasping, grasping, gasping for air
like old black and whites
the only memories of you
have no colour

Have you ever died from heartache?

I will

when she finally takes them
from me
I won’t bear to live
another day
