They say Zeus cast mankind apart For being too strong as they are So split in half, they roam the lands Forever seeking their heart

Maybe I was born even less than a half Broken even less than so Still held in your arms I find I'm so much more than whole

I cannot find the difference No separation of souls The jagged edges of empty space now, perhaps, I know my role

It's here in embrace, when laid to sleep I know no sense of "other" Limbs entwine, and heart of mine Alone, but with another
