Two Sided Approach To Breaking Up (Jekyll and Hyde)

By Malcholm Dark

(Jekyll)
I need to be, just let me live
Why can't you see, why can't you give
Our joy and sadness go hand in hand.

Please set me free, just let me go
Stop blaming me, stop saying no
Breaking up is hard to understand.

Perhaps one day when this unbends
We will find a way to be just friends.

(Hyde)
"Yeah right
Good luck with that.

Jekyll was always a soft worm
Stick this in your pipe and smoke it..."
.

I need you out, you made me mad
Don't even pout, don't act so sad
Pack up your shit, there's the door.

I want you gone, this is the end
And no new dawn, there's no pretend
I don't want you here no more.

Get out
Get, the fuck out!!!
.

(Hyde)
"you see how easy that was
Now you are free.

Stop that
Stop that welling of tears.

You pathetic little twit
You are as soft sided as Jekyll.

You will be sorry
They will rip your heart out!"

I guess a dual personality relationship squabble would be a new one for the marriage counselor haha. I liked the differing perspectives, and the persona that went with each one. Jekyll, the sensitive soul, and Hyde, the cold beast. Write onward.
