Glitz and glamour
Super-size
Extra features
On your car

Buy one; Get one
Extra fries
Cheaper double
At a bar

Imagine the notion
Of more being too much
Rejected and squandered
Like an unnoticed touch

Opportunity knocks
But once they say
Will you notice or care
When we go away

We're a package deal
Together we come
Both of us hurting
As if we were one

We both want the same
To feel wanted, admired
Not empty, alone
About to expire

Waste not: want not
Don't look a gift horse in the mouth
It's never too late to save us
Stop this from going South

Your happiness might lie within us
I believe ours lies in you
But first you have to accept us
Not just one, but two
