A synthesis.

how am i to move

if you bind my feet and yours

with these chains i willingly wear

and i try to move but you remain rooted

and there is nowhere i can go

without you

how am i to breathe

if you take my air away

and grip the muscle that leaves me breathless

with my palm tracing shadows

as i try to find what once was you

for our hearts to beat together once more

how am i to live

if you aren't there anymore

and the only thing closest to me and you is a memory

with what of me left as i struggle

with the illusions that tempt me

away from reality

and i'm trapped in the world i created

where only me and you

exists

synthesis from:


how am i to sing my song if you make me
speechless
if you take the words from my mouth
and stab them into my heart
like knives

how am i to close my eyes knowing you aren't there
when they open
