Jekyll and Hyde

When the door is locked

And you’re stuck outside,

Even though you knocked,

It’s blocked by Hyde.

“Let me in,

I’m here to help!

I know you’ve sinned,

All the guilt you’ve felt.

But forget the stories

And let me in!

Chapter One, my friend.

Now let’s begin.”

“Quit with the poetry.

How could you knowingly

Forgive my mistakes

When we never speak openly

In the first place?

We never go out

Or taste the rain.

We never get along!

There’s always this pain.

This hole inside

Is a bottomless pit.

All I ever do

Is wait and sit.

Fuck that shit!

It kills me to think

I’m in this alone.

No one who gets it

And my past to atone.”

“It’s passed for a reason,

Therefore “past” is its name.

What good is self-hate?

Good for staying the same.

I love you,

I LOVE YOU,

And I love you again.

Fuck what you think of me

‘Cause I am your friend.

Look into my eyes.

Hold onto my hand.

My gift is forgiveness.

Feel it right where you stand.

I am your soul

Not some means to an end.

I’m in this forever,

Not here to pretend.

Not a damn thing in this world

You’ll ever recommend

Could prevent my love

For women and men,

Child or hen,

Be it dollar or yen;

Love and joy are much better spent

Than a couple of cents.

Lucky for you, that’s exactly the key

To open this lock and set you free

The secret is there’s no “you and me.”

Only this moment,

Only eternity.”
