Halved

Every emotion is split in half
Inhaling I cry; exhaling I laugh
I used to drive down this road
The lights were all green
Neither green now nor red;
Something in between
This bittersweet world
Once a dazzling blue
Has dissolved into gray
With the specter of you
Once above was below
Staring up at the clouds
Now the days fill with snow
And I live ‘neath a shroud
Better to veil
The impossible view
Better to live with my murmurs
Remembering you
Every emotion is split in half
Inhaling I cry; exhaling I laugh
