Paradox
Only one
Alone and afraid
Heart's a refuge
Can't be saved
But then comes
Another
Unlike the rest
Another who's torn
Inside their chest
Two become one
Wounds healing wounds
Covering up scars
A task for a fool
None will understand
Why one would care
Why one would leave
Their heart to share
Because these wounds only
Deepen
From the hurt of the other
These two binded hearts
Dying
Together
Tearing
Ripping
As two drift apart
Bindings of stone
Crumbling
To the start
Leaving
Only one.
