In Two Minds


you were in two minds
neither of which were your own
I was just perfect

you were inside out
either way flicked your switch
but my circuit was closed

you were terrified
by the weakness of heroes
but my cowardice was brave

you really loved coffee & tea
I preferred my wines & spirits
we settled on smoke & mirrors

you were a trigger
beneath my itchy finger
but your safety was on

you really did think
that I would shoot you to death,
but my love cannot be forgiven

as easily as that.
