The Artwork that Mirrored my Future Life
Lyrics
Two faces in the hallway, staring at me,A painting that held my destiny.One face of failure, the other of dreams,A vision of life that’s more than it seems.
Two spheres, two lives, both part of my plan,A world for my sons, a place for my new man.Keeping them separate, my way to survive,The artwork reflected the way I’d thrive.
The meaning shifted, it opened my eyes,This painting became my guide to the skies.My parents’ divorce still echoes in me,I won’t let my sons bear the same memory.
I owe it to my children, my new man, and me,To create a life where we’re truly free.Living Apart Together could work for allA balance of love, my chosen embrace.
Two faces in the hallway, a vision so true,A future secure in the choices I knew.My happiness lives in the lines I’ve designed,The two faces of my painting, forever mine.
Story
Each day, as I walked down my hallway after my divorce in 2003, I was silently greeted by the two-faced woman in my painting. Suddenly, the painting took on a different meaning for me. I saw her as a woman with two lives. Subconsciously, I aspired to embody her, striving to balance the two sides of my life: one with my boys and the other with the new man in my life, my lover. Although I didn’t fully understand how to achieve this, I was determined to create a new relationship model with my new partner.
