How far can one flee
from the quiet twin of the soul—
that dark companion
stitched to every step?
Across valleys,
through cities of noise,
over oceans of distraction,
still it follows.
For shadow is not an enemy,
but the truth walking beside us,
the self we try to outrun
yet must one day embrace.
And so the weary runner learns:
escape is an illusion—
peace begins
when we turn,
and walk with our shadow home.
I have a twin
we were born in November
no one could see her,
since she has hidden from their sights
under my body and mind.
Come and go,
when all the vowers of staying disappeared,
my tears shedded- she’s still here;
strong as she was, I knew
her grief evermore outgrew.
So young we were,
I could call nothing mine, but her (my twin).
She taught me to shelter in reads
she taught me no cry for bleed
she taught me to be a lying narcissist.
Bad or good, things she did
forsaken or unforgiven; accomplice
I can’t get rid of it, cause
for good I’m her twin, and
she’s my soul.
Searching always searching,
Through the years looking,
Knowing your out there somewhere,
Feeling and seeing you in my dreams,
Looking in every place I go,
Just looking for you,
An eternity alone knowing that your out there,
I will look till I find yo,
My twin soul.
For you I don't need to be the best
As you know that my heart is true
Our life journey will pass love test
Lets relive the love we once knew
From our eternal sleep we awake
As one heart let us always speak
We will always meet on life path
As we know each other thoughts
We are being guided on this path
For our light is now being sought
Now as our sprit we again find
For we know we are of one mind
T wo little infants, born miles apart,
W ander through life with twin broken hearts.
I njured by those they thought they could trust,
N ow life had slipped by, like a handful of dust.
S omeone above must have made their paths cross,
O n seeing each other, they were no longer lost.
U ndying, their love spanned thousands of years,
L aying to rest all the pain and the tears.
