I am a single rose, a twin who has lost her other
I wonder if she knows that fate was wrong
I hear her voice calling out to me beckoning my soul
I see her standing before me, calling out to me saying,
“come I am here”
I want to comfort her, to tell her I care that I love her
I am a single rose, a twin who has lost her other.

I pretend she is here by my side, that fate has not played its ugly hand.
I feel her soul surrounding me, enclosing me in its light
I touch her mind and she becomes one with me.
I worry she cannot sense me, that she has forgotten who I am
I cry for she is not here; fate has taken her from me
I am a single rose, a twin who has lost her other.

I understand she is inside my soul; her mind dwells with me
I say that life is a gift that should be given to all and no man may take from another.
I dream that someday she will return in the flesh for her soul is already here.
I try to forget the pain of losing her, the hurt of not having her here.
I am a single rose, a twin who has lost her other.

I wanted that baby
I wanted to hold her
I wanted her to be mine

But I didn’t get what I wanted
But she was taken away
But she wasn’t given a chance to live

I wanted her to live
I wanted her to see me
I wanted her to know her mother loved her

But I didn’t get to see her
But I didn’t get to hold her
But I didn’t get to have my baby

Life’s lessons
Life’s lessons of mercy passing me by
Life’s lessons on joy passing me by
Life’s lessons of love passing me by

My life is empty
My life is lonely
My life is hollow

You’re alone too
You’re lost too
You’re scared too

Why are we alone in this world?
Why is life passing us by?
Why are we trying to survive?

If life has no point
If life has no meaning
If life has no value

Then why live in the suffering
Then why live in the pain
Then why live in the sorrow

This world is tearing me apart
This world is driving me insane
This world is torturing my soul

My thoughts beyond my control
My memories driving me to the brink of insanity
My mind trapped and tortured
