Locked Together

Locked Together

Locked together in pain

I once clung to you

I let myself go insane

just to feel your rain

But the dark clouds never went away

And I died deep inside

Countless tears I cried

But an ocean could not take

this love or break the tie

Only for my soul’s sake   could I fly 

fly away from the dark dream

that you had of me

As I come a part at the seam

I fall into my own sleepy sea

Finally alone in my head

Even as we make love in my bed

I realized what it is like to be dead
