It used to be me and you.
You and I.
Now it's me or you.
You or I.

What happened?
Selfish reasons are wrong.
We are not very strong.
We are not getting along.

It used to be together
Forever.
Now it's no one
And never.

Fatigue.
I am tired.
Expired.
Coming off a wire.

Slowly this relationship
Will die.
And along with it
Go I.
