Poly Light and Dark

When you have to watch the one you love
wondering if she was wrong to trust
This is when poly is hard

When you have to watch the one you love
questioning his ability and worthiness
This is when poly is hard

When you wish you could to make it all better
but there is nothing you can do for her
This is when poly is hard

When you wish you could make it all better
but you know he has to do that for himself
This is when poly is hard

When you act angry with each other
even though you’re angry with other people
This is when poly is hard

When you act angry with each other
even though you’re really in pain
This is when poly is hard

When you hold her while she cries
because she misses him so much
This is when poly is hard

When you hold him while he cries
because she has broken his heart
This is when poly is hard

When you want to tell her
that he’s not worth destroying herself
This is when poly is hard

When you want to tell him
that she’s not worth doubting himself
This is when poly is hard

When you want to remind her
she took for granted he’d always be there
This is when poly is hard

When you want to remind him
he did the best he could and he did not fail
This is when poly is hard

But when you know the one you love
is being given what you cannot offer him
This is when poly is wonderful

But when you understand that the one you love
is finally believing in herself again
This is when poly is wonderful

But when you recognize that the one you love
is being given as much love as he deserves
This is when poly is wonderful

But when you see that the one you love
is seeing herself – at last - through the eyes of others
This is when poly is wonderful

But when you realize that the one you love
loves you even more than when you started
That is when poly is wonderful

But when you discover that your relationship
Is stronger because of what poly demands from you both
This is when poly is wonderful
