You are in the loop.
How do I know?
The things you say, only you would know.

You are out of the loop.
How do I know?
The things you should know, but you don't.

You and I are crafty pawns
Who used the rules
and changed the game with desperate moves.

Two sides of the coin
Reach backward through,
Link hands. Slip, then hold like glue.

Friends, yes.
Maybe more. Maybe friends
Is all we need. Inevitable could end.

I grow closer, yes,
I grow closer. To truth, to you.
I run so that I do not stab. Out of fear.
Or anger... if that helps you choose.
