Body and Soul
a black and white movie reel
rewinding in my head
nothing like I imagined
when the lines have been reread
somewhere in the darkness
the light I could not find
never seeing clearly
while my heart was blind
through this obscure existence
alive but still alone
the part that kept on fighting
my heart that was long gone
dreams that ended differently
that held nightmares at bay
when the moon has faded
and night turned into day
sleepwalking through those moments
as the credits start to role
knowing it could have been heaven
you had me body and soul
