alone

two hearts in loneliness beating
finally found the missing rhythm

two souls with destiny lost in time
finally found their half sublime

two lives intertwined in a tangled hold
serindipitous as their life journey unfolds

but time and circumstance eludes the dance
as one has lost the other takes chance

to hold on to a dream amidst the pain
the sorrow the loneliness again and again

for what is life for the one who seeked
the other half who makes him weak

to watch her drift in subtlety and in guise
to mask a feeling neither one denies

when will this heart ever realize
when the other half no longer recognize

the missing rhythm the two hearts found
as the air of loneliness comes around.
