Torn between two

Seeking to be whole

They fill my cup with water

But guilt fills my cup with coal

The ties that bind us

Have knotted in my soul

Cut them loose

And I free the hold

One of them will certainly grab their string and go

Absent competition

Will they fight at all

Or will they both return

Having survived the fall

To return their heart to me

Because that’s where it belongs

Ignoring my exit, embracing the thrill

I hold on to them tightly

As the rollercoaster slowly

Tic, tic, tics, back up this hill

With a gaze to my left

and a smirk to my right

This wild ride loves me better

Than I ever might
