Bipolar

Roseann Geiger

Lady
Two Faces

You were never two faced.
One came first
and then the other.
Your soul is their mangled battleground.

Your heart could spin
beats into gold.
Your monster can rip
meat from bones.

People love you in limbo
like cinema behind bars.
They watch you wage war
while each face kills the other.

Lady Two Faces'
mind crumbling in tow.
