Union Of The Soul

How can I be so despairing

When you are so full of joy

How can I be so laser-like

And you so passively content

How can I bleed my sorrows

And you hide your accomplishments

Why must I wallow in the mire

While you fly above it all

I struggle with a word of truth

But you would wither if a lie passed your teeth

How can I be me and you be you

It is the union that makes us whole

Separately in control of each other
