Some Nights

Some nights
I feel like crying.
And others,
Dying.
But one thing's for sure:
No matter the issue,
My love for you is pure.

Some nights
I want to run away.
Some nights
I think you're gonna stray.
Some nights
I wish you wouldn't fight
But I yearn to hear your voice
Every single night.

Through thick and thin
I manage to somehow grin,
As you recount the ways
You love me so.

Some nights
I question your love,
Sometimes doubting
If you were sent from up above.
For better or worse,
Despite the depressing downs
And short-lived ups,
You're the one I desire
At the end of every night.

Cut Your Losses

Cut your losses.
Quick!
Do it now,
While it's still fresh.
The longer you wait,
The more danger she'll be in
When you actually do.
With you,
It'll hurt 50x more
Than with anyone else.
She's used to people
Coming in and out
Of her life,
But no one
Has ever returned.
That makes you special
Yet much more deadly.
You could mean
The end to her,
To her sanity,
To even her life!
That is,
If you choose
To wait
Until it's too late
To cut your losses
And run.
