Processing Seperation

you and i live such different lives

once we were tied

but i’ve lived half a life without you

i let you go for too long

i let my heart wander alone

i thought it was for the best

i really did

but after all their lies

and after all this time,

the sound of your voice on the line today

your innocence, your purity, your sincerity

your pure love

where else will i find it? if i searched the seven seas and all the skies it would never suffice

how naive i have been

to translate the pain of separation into one of your doing?

you did not know, you never meant to hurt me.

your words — your thoughts

they were me more than you & all this time as i bandaged my paper cuts

you were the one bleeding

oh my lord it is only you i must invoke

show us the way & connect our roads to the path ahead once more
