Unparalleled

His name reverberates
Off the walls inside my heart
Battered and slowly bleeding
Pieces torn apart
You can only see it
If you peer deep inside
On my pretty face
I wear the smile that hides
Clinging to yesterday
Or what may someday be
I tremble, hidden inside
In a place unknown to me
Flirting with ideas
Contrary to my soul
A thousand fragmented parts
Search recklessly for their whole
Disintegrating cyclically
Full of hope and then despair
I run through nightly dreams
But still he is not there
And the door slams shut
And the lights turn on
I begin to perform the dance
And sing again the song
But my heart, it beats in time
For the one who went away
Whose soul is linked to mine
In unparalleled ways…
