Both Sides of the Cassette

Both sides of the cassette 
the one that’s labeled ‘B’
I want to hear it all;
I will be your shoulder 
let love be your downfall; 

Both sides of the cassette 
can I feel your silence? 
Your refrain I will learn 
so I can understand,
speaking when it’s my turn; 

Both sides of the cassette 
the atomic anger 
endurance will relax; 
Gentle hands a rough kiss  
complimentary tracks; 

Both sides of the cassette 
over the course of time 
pieces may unravel,  
very delicately 
I’ll heal with a pencil.
