An exclaimation of my hatred of my life
My soul aches for that faithful day,
The day my heart can multitask;
Love more than one,
At the same time, unharmed.

                                                  He was my first love. He’ll never go away.
                                                      All I ask is that my love for him not
                                                        Inhibit my abilities to love another.
                                                Grow dormant, distant, distracting no more.
                                                                                           
                                                                                                                              I don’t regret my choices in the past.
                                                                                                                    I don’t fight against the choices of the other.
                                                                                                                            I just want to live with it… Peacefully,
                                                                                                        And not be torn, shattered, and bruised to the bone.
                                         
                                                  A place in my heart will always be his; my first love.
                                                    There will always be a place for the second too.
                                                        Can I not be friends, with both these men,
                                                                Without them dividing my life?

Without them influencing my every move?
Without them being in my every thought?
Without them being in my every hope? Every goal?
Every dream, and leaving me distraught?

                                                  My remaining want, desire, and dream,
                                                    Is only to be left unaffected for once.
                                  Will I hurt every one I’m with, and myself, ‘cause of them?
                                                            Why can’t I ever win?
