"One Minus A Half"
We were one heart,
Beating, as one in time,
One song, one tune,
One verse in perfect rhyme
One mind, same thoughts,
One soul in perfect love
Living in one star,
Up in the heavens above
One body locked in passion,
One burning desire,
Building itself into
One huge raging fire
One whole person together,
Never to be divided,
One being, one life,
One meeting fate decided.
Take all that and break it
Into separate parts,
And you have shattered pieces
Of a broken heart.
A song no longer sung,
No tune to hear,
An unrhyming poem,
The words now unclear.
Half a mind, no thoughts,
No dreams at all,
That single star when split
Will then from the heavens fall
Tear that one body apart,
And watch the fire die,
Cold ashes laying where
Flames once burned so high.
It`s clear to all who have been
That one person, that one soul,
That without the other half
Your half becomes nothing at all.
