My Second Soul
Negativity runs through my blood stream
Stuck and demented within this mindless dream
Have you heard the ghosts' voices when you sleep?
Or feel the icy fingertips dance across your neck when you weep?
Do you see the demons who fog our righteous path?
Do you always find yourself stuck in this reality-wrath?
Do you see the temptations before your grasp?
Have you ever felt so frightened, you let out an eerie gasp?
Are you as lost as me in these demonic twist?
Do you often want to feel pain and see your bloody wrists?
Watch the blood drip hot from the tip of the blade
Watch your normal life slip into darkness and fade
But do you have that one hope that always breaks your every fall?
And who releases you from being sacrificed against the wall?
Do you have that special "other half" who can bear this type of pain?
And who can make it where no more you have any shame?
Do you have that second soul that matches your heart?
Do you feel this same type of pain when you two are apart?
Do you have another body at night that holds you close?
Is that one and only second soul the one you love the most?
What would you sacrifice to be with them?
Can your second soul be your jacket against the wind?
Do you have a similar second soul like I have today?
Does it feel like every prayer came true that you did pray?
I have a second soul who stays by my side
I have another soul and heart besides my own I can confide
I have a best friend who has literally saved my life
And he has a second soul that became his wife
I have a second strong Marine-beating heart
Who is everything I want and more --- and who is incredibly smart
I have another set of arms that holds me close at night
I have another voice to diffuse all of the confusion and fright
I have another personality to match my own
Who I have started a family with and started a happy home
The second soul of mine reminds me of today
I live truly for him for he is my golden ray
I would not be the soul I am today without him
For him entering my life --- my world is no longer dim
He showed me the reality of relationship "world-life"
And cancelled out all of my past hurt, pain, and strife
He picked me up from the deader than dead-end path
And reminded me of what it felt like to finally laugh
Times are hard but with him we will pull through
Sunny days are on their way with skies a baby-blue
Better times I believe are coming near
I'm still here, baby, remember that and have no fear
