Dichotomous

There is a frantic desperation in my bones

And a faint buzz in my ears

Please! I pledge everything fond to me

Just don't ask me of my dears'

Again the desperation of gazillion words

Sets a dead hollow in the heart

A pit in the stomach opens when I see you

The lump in my throat can be art

My legs shake from the shoulder's weight

The sweat rushing in cold

My face I wish was hidden under a veil

Unfortunately I am acclaimed yours

Yet there is just the suffocation of unsent texts

And of the words unhailed

Would it have been better if I had said them?

Maybe we won't be so frail

Nevertheless it still amazes me how the two of you

Unrelated and one vicarious

Can make me burst into cold sweat and cry

One was my mistake

And one my heart's desire

One was my deepest secret

To the other I'm a beautiful liar

Dichotomy must have favored me

Leaving me to burn in my fire

I am awake in the night because of them both

I am both a cozener and a sinner dire
