Cracks in the wall

by John   Aug 22, 2006


I will never understand why I cant let go
I will never understand why I hate you so
What is this strange power you still have over me?
My heart is now locked but you still hold the key

Now two feelings wage savage war within my soul
Yet neither side will ever reach its final goal
My soul is torn into two harsh foes who have found
My heart to be their choice, desolate battleground

My mind is the peacemaker between these equals
Yet as they battle they create ever growing squalls
But no matter how bitter the enemies are
It is the peacemaker who will suffer most far

Oh and the peacemaker has suffered, this I know
But how long must it last? How far is left to go?
The peacemaker built a wall to divide these sides
But the wall is cracking and crumbling as tides

From both foes crash against it, seeking to destroy
The other, but neither conquest will bring any joy
To the barren heart, where love once bloomed evergreen
Or to the shattered soul, whose scars can still be seen

Or to the splintered mind, which cannot keep certain
I now drift like a windless ship lost in the main.
One side, my Yang cries for your loving embrace
The other, my Ying screams for your fall and disgrace

Through the cracks in the wall these two fuse together
To form this feeling that makes my thoughts like ether
Now without you, my guiding star, I now drift
Under a veil of gloom that I alone cant lift

But the soul, the heart and the mind will heal with time

The winter within the heart will end and spring will
Come once again and will remain within until
The scars on the soul have healed and are forgotten
The splintered mind will mend with the gain of new ken*
