Dr. Jekyll and Ms. Hyde

I wish you were in the night

as you are in the day

all I'm asking for is consistency

in the things you say

 

you message me late at night

to ask if you can call

so you might feel less alone

I agree with out stall

 

but in the day you're furious

at everything I do

at which point during the night

did you stop being you

 

then you reach for me again

in the dead of the night

to say that you miss me still

and we're not alright

 

but the next morning you say

you've had a new boy

he's been around for weeks

is it your intent to toy?

 

Are you still love stricken

or fraught with pride

stuck in this never ending tale

of Dr. Jekyll and Ms. Hyde
