Why is it that when I connect with one the other wrestles away?
What is this curious see-saw connection you both share?
When you're happy, the other's sad.
When you're trigger-happy. The other is glad. Maniacally so.
When you wallow, she flies.
When you whoop with laughter, she dies inside.
If I extend a hand or a call to say hello to you
She cowers away spitting and hissing.
And when you and I fall out over a simple matter,
She rejoices, in ways big and small.
What is this thread that tugs and connects you both?
Can we snap it and free you two?
So I might be free of both of you.
