The Line That Divides

there is a pain that comes
from holding on too long
a subtle knife that scrapes the veinswe both know i'm leaving
i'm already gone
even if i'm here todaythe line that defines
the shape of our lives
slowly bleeds into graythe line that divides
this world from my mind
can only lead me awaythis ever present terror
of what each day will bring
that i won't find the strength
to livealive enough to see
just how far away i am
from where i really need to be
