| Parted Souls by © chibilunacat We've been moving on again The two of us together We watch as others precede and follow, Skin like silk and skin like leather. We listened as the children sang And wept when they shed tears- We helped them through the tough and good, And held them to frighten off fears. We watched as people cried for loss And wondered what it did mean, Most were moving on to better, This you and I have seen. We faced it all, side by side And felt the peoples pain We had those feelings too you know But we all have more to gain. Though we live lives of anger Loneliness and great fear Like a glutton for punishment We always return, my dear. We've watched the sicknesses take root The diseases and viruses that spread We watched the thousand armed policemen Rack in the number of dead. We watched little children fade Like a flower upon the fall And watched the people growing older, Till they couldn't age at all. But we knew where they were going And we had known where they had been, And we knew without doubt in our hearts They'd all meet up again. You stood beside me, and I by you And no matter what we felt, We endured it always side by side, Knowing exactly what we'd been dealt. There comes a time, I saddened see That we must go it alone, And we must watch the dying happen, And strengthen at all we are shown. There's a day we must part To go our separate ways- And though we never wanted this, We live on through these days. Now we watch from different plains Those that come and go And we reach out from time to time Just to simply let them know. We always expected the unexpected, Except that we would be apart, I never dreamt of losing you- And you getting a head start. I didn't think it possible To come back without you But I'll make the best of it Cause I know you'd want me to. I don't remember exactly the times That you and I have shared I simply remember that it was you and I And I remember how much you cared. People miss the ones they lose, That must travel on deaths wings, And they grieve, the way they can And strengthen themselves within these things. People lose their little babies And envision them someplace better For it helps the heart to heal, Some grieve within a letter. People lose their very dear friends And don't quite know what to do But as long as we were together There wasn't anything we couldn't do. Some go on to other lives To meet their friends once more To finally watch their babies grow And to the world explore. I guess what I didn't expect Was to be so all alone But if this is the life I had to endure, I'll bare this burden to the bone. We should have known it'd happen sometime But we'll be back together someday And we'll hold on once again, And have so much to say. I know you're watching over me From where it is you are Sometimes at night I talk with you I think of you when I look at a star. Though I can't quite remember knowing Or the life we had side by side Something deep inside of me Brings knowing without knowing in the tide. On one plain we help the fallen stand And soothe the people hearts And help them get back to family safely Or make their brand new starts. We've watched their sadness An could Sympathize A dried the many tears From sparkling eyes I guess for now our paths are two, I suppose it had to be done, But I will never give up hope That our paths again will be one. I'll look for you upon the sky As you greet departed at your gate And you will always visit my dreams As the hour's drawing late. So like many who've lost someone I'll be missing you But we'll still help from different plains For it's simply what we do. I came to life and you stayed back Someday I will know why, But these dreams and feeling I have Let me know where to go when I die. Terra Mae 2/5/2002 |
