Half to Make a Whole

The idea of you was constantly wished for, obsessively even
After the battles, the victories, and all the emotions in between
There I was, in the middle and lost in anger
Stuck in bitterness, drowning in sadness
Black tears in my pillow and papers scrawled in doom
If only I’d known then
Under the same stars, under the same moon
In the middle of a battle not many miles away
There you were too

Through all the lies
Through all the spite
With every self threat
With every dry click click click
I pitied myself as I sat there alone
Little did I know

Years kept passing, and the world kept turning
I saw snow capped mountains, glistening in the light
I saw ******* demons, some took me by the hand
I flew up in the air and spiraled down to the earth
I took many paths in the forest of the unknown
I and walked them alone

Soon I was free, I found my own me
I found a small light to end all of the night
An old idea surfaced, a truth was told
I’d walked many paths
But I never walked them alone

Under the same sky
Across boundaries made by man
You waited with patience
Forced to watch from afar
One day we’d unite
And that day would come soon

I don’t know the rules
Not the protocol even
But as soon as my eyes were open
All of my love was given

A half and a half, indeed they make a whole
All of the times I felt alone
Little had I known.
