The Line That Divides

there is a pain that comes 
from holding on too long 
a subtle knife that scrapes the veins 

we both know i'm leaving 
i'm already gone 
even if i'm here today 

the line that defines 
the shape of our lives 
slowly bleeds into gray 

the line that divides 
this world from my mind 
can only lead me away 

this ever present terror 
of what each day will bring 
that i won't find the strength 
to live 

alive enough to see 
just how far away i am 
from where i really need to be
