Solitude by Effect

Two time zones — Two souls

When my lonely-hearts optimism felt lost. Right before my eyes, I met the one, I could only describe as my soulmate.

Shocked by her beauty as my tongue abandoned me. It should have been the day that I could look back on. As the day I no longer stand-alone.

Two souls that cannot be together. Years have passed and thoughts of her refuse to surrender.

Her personality was more beautiful than her angelic features. My swollen bloodshot eyes forced to stay ajar, as my psyche repeatedly pulls fragmented images.

Her voice forevermore hammering inside. I am forever frozen, forever stirring. I pray for mental blindness.

Theory’s steal my sleep. I am imprisoned within hallucinations. She is the hell in me that will always isolate me.
