The pressure, the strain
from too many days in the flame
pulled in opposite directions,
where no path's sane
Support the one, lose the other
Support the other, lose them both over
lenient in nature is the neither
picking one makes the other colder
One needs a back to break
the other needs a shoulder to take
each one supports the other path's choice
but neither'll forget when forsake'd
