Two Halves Make Up the Whole

I know this girl, she’s seen too much of the world
Had her faith betrayed by friends who rape
Made it easier just to give than have them take

But now a simple touch – not lust but love
Cannot even be accepted
For they took from her so she gave
All the touch with loveless sex nothing left but emptiness

And now that the time has come
To share the praise of love
She builds a wall around her body tall
Damn the man who had to force instead of face
Rejection of the answer that was “no”

I’m left to pick up the pieces
Of the puzzle back to neatness
Attempting to attach the body to the soul
I know it won’t be easy but the rewards will be pleasing

And finally make the two halves a whole
Are you willing – conditions must be met
For love fulfilling – do you think you are ready yet
To start the healing, reach the ceiling, remove yourself from debt

Two halves make up a whole
Two people share a soul
I’ll gladly pay the toll
To share a common goal
