CAPTIVE LOVE

Across a crowded room we saw
a conflict from afar,
powerful message, electric current
coming from where you are.

Drawn we were from that day forth
nothing to mar the way we felt,
no noise from the people around,
just a peaceful heavenly sound.

Through the years our passion grew,
A love given only to a few
two halves of a whole,
one being, one soul.

What happened to our oneness
that tore our spirit apart,
split the heart, split the soul,
crucifying our minds?

Taken away while still in your prime
leaving a shell behind,
no more love, the lights gone out
captive in love, not life.
