Split-Personality

Two sides of one coin,
Split between two.
Brought to the light,
Drowning in darkness.

Hope to be whole,
Yet reality stays.
The personality is two,
The brain is one.

They fight to be there,
To be in control.
They seek the end,
For the other to be gone.

They cannot part,
No matter their wish.
The third brings them together,
Holding them in their chains.

They eat away at one,
Destroy all they see.
They can't be controlled,
No, not your split personality.

Well, I guess this would make it difficult to find alone time. A very intriguing piece.

Your use of descriptive wording and the outstanding imagery bring this piece to life and give it soul. Your thoughts come alive and breathe life into your words. Emile.
