I stare into her tear-battered eyes
And do not recognize the soul within
Why have you been crying for so long my dear?
It’s not worth crying over him

She looks up with sympathy in hers eyes
She knows I just don’t understand
She doesn’t open up her mouth to speak
But instead she takes my hand

I feel the emotions travel through my soul
And collapse on broken knee
I’ve never known this pain before
And beg her to let go of me

A see a toxic smile slide across her face
And her grasp becomes more secure
I plead for her to let me free
And she tells me to take a good look at her

I see a soul soft and vulnerable
The way I said I never want to be
I see sweet susceptibility to heartbreaks
And pray that never happens to me

Now the anger spreads her face
She gets enraged by my unwillingness to see
She screams in complete indignity
That she is the other part of me

She scorns me for casting her away
Abandoning her so many years ago
I gaze with dumbfounded expression
And conceive the burden she does bestow

The burn sets my hand upon fire
And we begin to melt together as one
I separated from her wretchedness
And my doing is becoming undone

I didn’t want it to be like this
I tried to let your curse go
But now me and my heart unite
And I feel the pain I never wanted to know
