Incompatible
Like a moth
Drawn to a flame
I’ve only
Myself to blame
I’ve tried to continue,
Through and through
And yet I only
Seem to lose
Like fire and ice
Are drawn
Here I sit
Two parts fore lorn
A puzzle with
A missing piece -
A puzzle, a puzzle
It must cease
Myself to blame
Seem to lose
Two parts fore lorn
It must cease
