YOU AND ME OR HIM

In the silence of the night, where shadows linger long,

There lies a tale of love and loss, a melancholy song.

It speaks of hearts entwined, once bound in sweet embrace,

Now torn apart by choices made, leaving naught but empty space.

"You and me or him," the words that sealed our fate,

Echoing in the chambers of my soul, an agonizing weight.

For in those fleeting moments, when love hung in the air,

I never thought I'd have to choose, never dreamed of this despair.

But life is cruel, and fate unkind, as we stand at the crossroads,

A love torn asunder by the choices we've imposed.

Do I follow my heart's desire, heed its desperate plea,

Or do I sacrifice our love, for the sake of loyalty?

You, the one who holds my heart, my soul's eternal flame,

And him, the friend who stands between us, bearing love's cruel name.

Each a beacon in the darkness, each a guiding light,

Yet in choosing one, I condemn the other to endless night.

Oh, how I wish for simpler times, when love was all we knew,

Before the shadows of doubt and fear obscured our view.

But now we're left with broken dreams, shattered hopes and fears,

As we navigate the treacherous path of love's bitter tears.

For every moment spent with you is a dagger to my soul,

A reminder of the pain I cause, the wounds I can't control.

And every glance exchanged with him is a betrayal of our past,

A testament to love's cruel twist, a fate too cruel to last.

So here I stand, torn between two worlds, neither one my own,

A wanderer in love's vast expanse, forever lost, alone.

For how can I choose between the two, when both are dear to me,

When every choice I make condemns us all to misery?

In the end, I know not what to do, where my path may lead,

But one thing's for certain, in this tangled web of need:

Whether it's you and me or him, the outcome's just the same,

For in the end, we're all just victims of love's cruel game.
