Between Two Hearts

I met the morning in the half-lit room;

Two names on my tongue like a fragile tomb;

One left the door, one gave me light;

And I'm standing in the middle of both at night;

For my wanting time;

Now it's all

I feel when I close my eyes;

I keep turning in circles trying to be sure;

But every answer breaks me a little more;

I love you both;

And I hate this ache;

One step forward;

And my heart can shake;

How do I choose;

When I'm torn in two;

When one feels safe and one feels true;

I'm lost in space between goodbye and you;

You hold my head like you know my scars;

You speak my name like it still has stars;

One gives me calm, one sets me free;

And neither one is asking me to leave;

For the first time,

I don't know who I am;

Just a woman learning how to stay;

I keep turning in circles, trying to be sure;

But every answer breaks me a little more;

I love you both;

And I hate this ache;

One step forward;

And our heart can shake;

How do I choose?

When I'm torn in two;

When one feels safe and one feels true;

I'm lost in the space between goodbye and new;

Maybe love is not alive;

Maybe it bends and leaves us blind;

I want the truth, I want no lie;

But I don't know how to say goodbye;

If I let one go,

I'll feel the tear;

If I hold on, I drown in fear;

I love you both and

I hate this ache;

One step forward and my heart can shake;

How do

I choose when I'm torn in two?

When one feels safe and one feels true?

I'm lost in space between goodbye and you;

So I breathe through the breakin' dawn;

Learnin' how to move along;

Maybe the answer comes in time;

And both feel ready;
