Bilateral (Free verse) by Hadasl
A man is made up of two, I believe
and the dark side is often well hidden
yet there are days, that walk on their toes
and they always will come, quite unbidden
When all the backs are turned, and the sky turns gray
you wish that you could fly away
to that land of dreams and sky-scraping thunder
but is it better than this? I sit.
And I wonder.
For a kiss on the cheek can quite turn to a slap
and a look in his eyes that can shame
I'll never forget, and might always regret
the red hair that sets me aflame
But she loves me, I thought, as she punched and she swore
and I made blood flow down my hands while she flew and she soared
and I wonder who loves me more, and whether they do
if I kill myself mama, it'll be only for you
Yet I do not know, for how can I choose
between a love that is counted and one that's perused
for the look in his eyes and the slap of her hand
they tear me apart, as I decide where to land
