Jar of Hearts: An Anthology

What Awaits Us Both

Are we going to do it again?

What we both lost back then?

Are we going to bring back,

What we know we both lack?

.

There you are, knocking on my door,

There you are, saying you want more,

Asking me to accept you a second time.

Telling me you wanted to be mine.

.

Should I believe you this time around?

Will there be pains and aches abound?

What you are willing to put on the line?

Will your sun and my moon finally align?

.

It is tempting to just think,

that we are so close to the brink,

to the life that we want to live

When we both promised not to leave.

.

Even though, admit, my heart won't,

and we know that we don't

Have a future together.

And we're not meant for each other.

.

For my poor and foolish heart's sake,

to avoid the inevitable heartbreak

that we know awaits us both,

I'll gladly jump out of this love boat.
