Two Lives

The lives we lead
Can always divide
Split us in two
Then try to hide

Forced to live
these separate lives
Thinking ones gone
Not sure which survives

We try to live on
But it never feels right
Thinking it went wrong
Unable to sleep at night

We put ourselves
Through this all the time
Living on auto
Like life is a mime

We know what to do
We have to choose
But its hard to decide
Which life to loose

Both are precious
And mean such a lot
That you wont be happy
With whichever you've got

It all comes down
To this final choice
But you choke on your answer
And loose your voice

You realise then
No matter what
You cant make a choice
Your stuck with what you've got

No matter what happends
You'll see them to the end
And hope someday
That these broken lives
Will somehow find a way to mend
