Falling Out of It

It seems I am always torn between two.

Two who will stick by my side on cue,

Despite whichever category I fall into.

It seems that my life has revolved around “plus one”-

Never enough to get the job done

Or to satisfy my heart’s version of fun.

No, I have emotions like anyone else

Yet for both of them my heart melts

Into something I’m sure I’ve never felt.

Is this what falling out of love feels like?

Slowly following another because it feels right?

And feeling wrong because you know the other is in sight?

Is falling out of love extreme guilt?

Feeling lonely because you know you’re throwing away everything you’ve built?

But this person you once loved makes you so tired, you wilt?

Is this feeling the opposite of good?

Because you won’t leave, but you think you should?

Because you know if you do, you’re throwing away what’s left of your childhood?

I know it’s wrong to leave one for the other,

Yet the possibility makes my heart smother

Every thought with another.

I’m too scared and weak to ever take this action,

But that doesn’t mean I still can’t imagine.
