Split

A shadow crossed the moonlight And painted half my face Then cut my silhouette in two I stood a different race A line shot down my middle That sawed my thoughts in two I moved one eye from left to right And ask it ‘who are you’ It spoke no words But ran astray, pulling me along Toward my demise with each new step Knowing it was strong I fought against this hell bent strength As deeper down it pulled Dragging toward an unknown depth This soul of mine it ruled I prayed to God to hear me But only heard a laugh A wicked sneer pulled at my lips I felt this Satan’s wrath With one chance left to save myself From what I know is me I’ll tie a stone about my neck And leap into the sea.
