Half a person

We are tightly intertwined and I do not recognize  
myself anymore without you
You fill a big hole in my heart and you make me happy
Still I am scared to love you so much and that without  
you I will die
If we are a whole then I am only half of a person
I dedicate myself but I am dependent and it scares me
Bonnie and Clyde or Sid and Nancy,  
will there be a tragic end for me
in this relationship
After each night of intense passion
The world seems so much clearer the next morning
I am beautiful with you and you make me smile
But I worry you will break my heart and then no one  
will be able to fix it again
In the night we are lovers but then
sometimes we get caught in the waves and battles
Love is a perilous high and I am hopeless
while you seem so independent
You have the power to crush my hopes so easily  
And I do find myself not recognizing the differences
Together it is not scary but then it is again
You feel some empty spaces in me but I am  
still trying to find myself
And I cannot help but feel like I am walking  
a tightrope across a gorge and will fall
to the depths below
Somehow I feel like us, this is only temporary
and it scares me
