We were two, I and I
We never did see I to I

We stumbled into darkened rooms
I told I to get out, leave
I told I to forge on, believe

We worried forever, we fretted and fumed
I told I, I was wrong, too meek,
I argued with I,
I was strong enough to speak

I loved I intensely, I hated I more
I called I a dull freak,
I evened the odd score

We meshed inchaotic, with moral dilemmas
We were always off, the timing ever wrong
Never in one place, did we both belong

Then I found you, and I gave in to need,
Wary, warring, willing, weak,
You and I and I, and then we were three
And for the first time in my life
With I, I agreed
With I, I dreamed
With I, I could, just be,

I and I, we tiptoed with you,
We chattered excited, we hoped anew
We reached out hands to touch you
Warm and real, aye aye, its true,
I became just I, I thank you

When its one lost soul crying defeat
One last role curtained in a fall
When it’s a table for one
A tinsel toy for another
Broken in a trice
It comes no more when called
