It’s a simple equation to the unknowing mind,

An easy process like multiply and divide,

Take one, add another, you get an answer of two,

There was me, as one person and then there came you.

But our answer was more than the sum of our parts,

There weren’t just two bodies, two minds or two hearts,

We felt endless and infinite, a brand new discovery,

Our version of two was filled with unknown complexity.

Combining us felt easy, so right and so simple,

So surely dividing us should follow the same principle,

But from a two to a one was no clean-cut subtraction,

It tore at me, ripped at me, an unbearable detachment.

I’d lost who I was, forgotten how to be whole,

I was me on the surface but without part of my soul,

How can I go back to being a one on my own?

Marked by a single line – simple, solitary, alone.
