Two pieces of my soul
Caught between the parts of me
That I can scarce control
Torn between the thoughts in me
Thoughts like day and night
Torn between what I long for
And what I know is right
Stuck between two lovers
Between two families
Stuck between my passion
And safe security
Suspended here between two worlds
A watcher in each one
Suspended here unmoving
Distant and undone
Ripped apart inside my heart
Between my wants and needs
Ripped apart and fighting hard
To find a way to be
Pulled from one life to another
The dream life and the real
Pulled from dreams to face the facts
But in dreams alone I feel
Confused by both, unable to
Choose one side or the other
Confused within this life I lead
And dreaming of another
Tied down by responsibility
By acts of my own choosing
Tied down by ceremony
While my heart and mind I'm losing
Imprisoned here within these walls
This life that's my own fault
Imprisoned in this normalcy
When fairy tales I sought
Forced to stay here I have learned
To smile and nod and lie
Forced to stay where I'll waste away
Loving you until I die
