The Red Sea

I leave you? No, you gave me no choice.
WE both feel the same, in this here voice.
You can't find compromise, it's only your way.
For me, I'm willing to sacrifice much,
if we could meet in the middle of this great bay.

Love? Your ideals know not the love I feel.
That love in all its glory is always real.
It exists in different forms, although the purest
is the one I had hoped you'd know by now.
But truth be told, it's an ability that you lack somehow.

You inspire me with everything in your being
even the way in which you choose to be seeing
this huge disagreement, which is now leading
to my heart cut open, a river bleeding
to fill up the oceans and all seas in between.

It's not your fault, for you've not broken this heart,
you can't hurt me, even though now we must part.
I know my actions, who I am and what I've done.
I told you I'll take responsibility for everything,
including the mistake you can't bear, now two becomes one.

Friendship now severed, this ocean now parts
as I cross through, though not alone,
carrying not one, but two hearts.
My love and prayers always with you, may God be our guide.
May we continue to live life to the fullest,
even if we're no longer side to side.
