1 BITE, 2X SHY

All of the loves that hurt you in the past
I know they still linger on your mind
They whisper into your listening ear
Once bitten, two times as shy

And be it they may
The thrower of stones that caused harm
Also, those that don't pay the price
Only you and I, yet proven innocent of the crime

And though I know fresh is the wound
Soon, it will only be you
Grasping to the pull of your past,
Mourning the loss of a beautiful two
