A thousand cuts inflicted on myself
for your one
Pain being the only true measurement
Of what was real
And yet so much remains unknown
I may never know if you felt pain
Pain of loving
The pain of remembering
And the pain of losing me
But I did
And still do for you
What has changed
Is that another love
Has stepped in
Taken your place
Your memory still in me
But no longer consumes me
Sometimes I wonder
If you sent him to me
Because it was the only act of love
You could do for me
How strange love is
It binds me to you
And now to him
Our fates all sealed
And joined
