One. you broke my heart in
Two. you didn't want to set me
Free. you never tried seeing what I am
For. can't believe I took the
Dive. into your arms....
... but you said sorry, that this would
Fix. and now back one through six.

Author's note: I wrote this years ago as a fun challenge starting from the phrase "One. You broke my heart in Two." It’s a cynical take on love that uses homophones for the numbers one through six to map out the looping, repetitive nature of a toxic relationship. Please enjoy!

*** I'm keen to republish the interviews I did for my series with Vocal creators. It's been a few years and I thought it might be nice to revisit these wonderful conversations. I'll be releasing them one at a time for a few weeks/months.
