Tell Me



Who am I
without you?

A man
with half a heart?

A lover
without his intended?

A lost soul
without a Heaven to go to?

And who are you
without me?

A girl with just the scar
of my beating heart?

A beautiful shadow
too far to stand beside?

A real Heaven
my life is no longer bound to?

Tell me, Love,
before it’s too late,
and too far gone…

Are we merely a lie
we can never leave behind?

Are we questions that can only be asked,
but never answered?

Or are we a vital truth
still left to find?

Tell me, Love.

Tell me.
