Test the barriers,
Break down the walls.
Watch as the fissures spread.
Push closer and closer
Until our lips melt together.

Memories swim through the air,
Reflected in your eyes.
The space between us,
Electrified and thick,
With unspoken words.

When you look into my soul,
Two stare back at you;
One, a ghost that's haunting you,
Following your every step-
Always at the back of your mind.

It is no longer I that sits
In this room with you,
But she, the illusion, that you see.
And the rage in your heart
Burns like black fire.

The light, the hope, the joy,
The elation I once felt-
It's all been plunged
Back into the darkness,
Where it once lay chained.
