All the Time I left you there
I was searching
Did you haunt me
Endless years I gasped for air
Posed as you
I struggled, longing
Didn’t know who else to be
Searched for joy
For peace,
Belonging
In the mirror
Only me
In my eyes
Deep sorrow etched
Agony in the abyss
Primal yearning
Breath did catch
Living death
It’s you I missed
All that time the war was waging
Did you hear the Judgments tossed
Did you cry when I was Raging
Did you know that I was Lost
I posed as you to take mistreating
Learning to be strong and bold
Angry
Fierce
My heart stopped beating
Body aching
Blood ran cold
Impostor, I, that should endure
Plots they set against You
I love you more, of that I’m sure
And that is why I fenced you
I would rather keep you lost
My life remain in shambles
Then to have you pay their cost
And wear their crown of brambles
Now I’ve come
Inviting you
Come back to me at last
What right have I
In sighting you
To whisk away the past
Forget the Why it took so long
To act on your behalf
I need you then and now and on
You are my better half
