Cult of Two

You asked me to give you a second chance and all you gave me back was a repeated mistake.

Crazy

It was the fear

of losing you,

that drove me away—

I realize now

just how crazy

that sounds.

It was my insecurity,

my self-doubt,

that slowly trapped me—

like a straightjacket

tailor-made for one.

And not even

your undying love

could free me—

from myself.

Whenever you smiled, it was like the sun breaking through the storm.

Never Again

You asked me to give you a second chance and all you gave me back was a repeated mistake.
