Mom and Dad are splitting up.
Only child tries to fix rift,
but it's all for naught.

A love that knows no end.
In safe space, it will have no rift.
Faithfully, they each have a friend.

Brilliant man is mine
Quantum possibilities

from afar all you saw was his mid-rift
with me you were glowing
our future was moving
from his dark pit, you now expect a lift....

tapping against my window
the beats more steady

Living Being,
with heart and mind

Throws all reason,
through rift in time.

Primal instincts,
surface now

Destroy the enemy,

Dispel the myth
with a trip
inside my head.

As bright as read.

To all and all
a spell is born
with you at the helm

My fears abound
and darkness clears...

You show me a way to another realm....

It’s like a memory isn’t enough to help me ascend,
And this rift…

A shinning stone has left us 
skipping gaily toward heaven
tapping on Saint Peter's door 
with a pair of pearly drumsticks
leaving rift and ripple in our hearts
a million doors are painted black.
Rest in Peace-sweet drummer man~...

Bridge, 
My link, 
You are built 
Between the two 
To erase the gap 
That separates the ways. 
You fill in the space of rift 
By connecting and uniting 
In order to establish the friendship, 
As you eliminate war and conflict....

i reach for you
but you're not there
i call your name 
but you don't care
there's a rift that's
widening by the day
i struggle on my own
to find my way
