A Twin's Death

a part was ripped right out of me i’m stripped of my autonomy i clutch my own cold, lifeless face i chase the warmth of your embrace it was us, then it was i the horror story is implied two people, two minutes apart but only one sad, beating heart oh i’m not holding back my tears were forced to die in different years how is this right? how is it fair? you can’t go breaking up a pair a part was once ripped out of me then, i felt more than i could feel keep looking back to empty space can’t even glance at my own face
