Jekyll And Hyde

SabreLi

I’ve longed for so long to be
A part of something apart from me
But the seconds and minutes draw near
Turn into days, into weeks, a year
Just what will it take to be,
Just to be, to be free

Will you be the Adam to my Eve?
Without you I’m incomplete
Just half of what I could be
Jack and Sally or Sid and Nancy
Nobody else can compete 
Together we will run free

Let’s write our own twisted love story
Who cares what anyone else may say
We’ll be both the judge and jury
And in our own little world we’ll stay

I want to be closer now
Closer than skin and bone will allow
I want to peel away the edges
To remove all the excess
Be closer than we know how
Just be free, you and me

The Romeo to my Juliet
Without you I’m incomplete
Just half of what I could be
I’ll be Scarlett O and you’ll be Rhett
Nobody else can compete 
Together we will run free

Let’s write our own twisted love story
Who cares what anyone else may say
We’ll be both judge and jury
And in our own little world we’ll stay

Will you be the Jekyll to my Hyde?
Without you I’m incomplete
Just half of what I could be
And I’ll be the Bonnie to your Clyde,
Nobody else can compete 
Together we will run free

    Interesting approach to a love story. You have mentioned some twisted ones. How about Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love? Great Job!

    • SabreLi

      What a great mix to throw into the combination, perhaps that may have been more appropriate than some I used! xx

      • WriteBeLight

        No. Do not change a thing. Your choices are excellent. Your poem got me thinking and I just remember Cobain's sad passing. And, I thought of other couplings that raise eyebrows. Again...excellent!

        I love this poem...
        My own take on this world
        Is we are born alone.
        We die alone and in between
        We hope to meet someone
        To share that time....

        • SabreLi

          A great take to have; yes we must all learn to live alone because ultimately, not all of us are fortunate enough to die with someone. To have someone along for the ride, though, is a wonderful thing! xx
