So I am as the bitch, the jerk, the mean,
Tending on the shadows in my heart.
I would have looked if I had only seen
I would have stopped short, would have done my part.
And you, but one, to seek my clumsy hand
And I, but one, to blind myself from you
And you, but one, to look for a true friend
And I, but one, unseeing, and untrue.
You must have thought that I forgot to think
If only I could live this night again
I’d notice you as you began to sink
And be for you the lifevest needed then.
Now that I have a “second” I can see:
The bitch, the jerk, the mean… um… yeah… that’s me.
But One
