Twin Differences

*Just past the surface,
I'm coming undone-
My shield unraveling,
A web just begun-
I stand holding up the walls,
That are caving in-
Alone felt so good,
So why does my heart beg to open?!-*

(Independent,)
Even as I break!-
So much to give.
(So much I'll take!-
Still waters like a mirror)
Showing what I shouldn't see.
(My own empty eyed reflection starring back at me!-)

Half silent,
Quiet,
Ever brooding-
The gentle calmness halfway soothing-
(Half violent-
Raging,
Always hurting-
The madness only half concerning-
Destruction,)
Or salvation?-
Mercy-
(Or Damnation?-)
Angel from heaven-
(Or demon from hell?)
How far have I risen?-
(How far have I fell?!-)

(Independent,)
Even as I break!-
So much to give.
(So much I'll take!-
Still waters like a mirror
Showing what I shouldn't see.)
My own burning eyed reflection glaring back at me!-

*My reflection,
My one redemption-
Your many secrets-
Oh, I'll never mention-*

(Destruction,)
Or salvation?-
Mercy-
(Or Damnation?-)
Angel from heaven-
(Or demon from hell?)
How far have I risen?-
(How far have I fell?!-)

(Independent,)
Even as I break!-
So much to give.
(So much I'll take!-
Still waters like a mirror
Showing what I shouldn't see.)
Without my twin,
There's nothing left of me!-

*Reaching for the light we used to know-
I see that I'm just like you-
The same voice,
The same face,
The same in almost every place-
But even a reflection,
Has its own separate direction-
So the path I walk,
Is from a different view-
You're the same as me-
But we're not the same,
It's true-*

*Hold out for tomorrow,
Maybe our hearts won't be as hollow-
As they were,
When we were all we ever knew-
And I know,
I won't be lost without you.*
