LIFETIME

We shared this breath, we shared this skin A lifetime passing like a single day Where did you end? Where did I begin? The shadow that would never go away You were the whisper in my ear The heavy heart, the secret prayer My only hope, my only fear I found you waiting everywhere My dark beloved, my deepest ache The only heart I couldn't break I've wandered far to find your grace To look at last upon your face The light is cold, the light is leaf I reach to touch your silent grief I see the truth I tried to flee I reach for you. and find only me The mask is gone The truth is free The one I loved The enemy And this enemy. is me
