The Line Between Love and Life

Please do not think that these are writings of a coward
Who hides behind his words.
Having not the courage to look you in the eyes
And speak the truth of Love and Life.

I am a man who walks a line,
A thin line between Life and Love.
It is tragic that such a line exists.
In an ideal world there would be no line,
Love and Life would be one in the same.

I want to Love, and be Loved
But somehow, somewhere, sometime,
Long ago
A thin line was formed.

When a line is formed,
It separates,
Love and Life are no longer one.

I now have to choose
Life without Love
Love without Life
It is an impossible choice
So, I walk the line.

I cannot cross the line to where Love exists,
Because it is not my Love.
I can only hope that Love crosses over to my Life,
So I wait...

I wait and walk,
The lonely line between Life and Love,
Hoping that someday, somehow,
My Life and Love will be one again.
