Twin Flames

My other half, my heart, my soul

You lit up my life, I lit up yours

*

The world around us was dark and cold

But the light between us glowed

*

Against the darkness, we burned bright

And illuminated the world with a pure white light

*

Sprawling across the jet black sky

Two halves of the same flame, unified

*

But soon that flame turned from white to blue

Fears surfaced, tempers flared, chaos ensued

*

Continuing to build, intensity stirring

The light blinding, the warmth burning

*

Till we burned each other, and everything else around

Our love still alive, but our hearts broken and spirits wounded

*

I never thought our light could cause such dismay

But maybe we’re meant to light the world another way

*

Perhaps our light is meant to be spread,

Not together, but apart instead

*

So we split our unified flame into two

The split more painful than the flame burning blue

*

It’s for the best, though it still pains me

To leave behind the other half of me

*

But now, as we go our separate ways,

We each carry our light and warm every space

*

And soon, the balance of warmth and light

Began to finally stabilize

*

You spread your light, and I spread mine

Still stretching and shining across the skies

*

Illuminating the world as we were always meant to

Though it’ll never be the same without you

*

But whether we’re together or apart

You’ll always have a piece of my heart

*

Through thick and thin, we’ll always be connected

Through it all, I’ll be praying you’re protected

*

And maybe one day, we’ll reunite

And maybe then, we’ll glow together just right

*
