One Two Buckle My Shoe

One.
Two.
Nothings provably true.

Three.
Four.
Let yourself j'adore.

Five.
Six.
Learn some better tricks.

Seven.
Eight.
No one's playing straight.

Nine.
Ten.
Regret's the only sin.

Addendum

I have a tiger in my chest, 
It's cage was spun from silk.
Woven daily, and precise,
It purrs, I feed it milk.

The cage that I am weaving,
Keeps the tiger hidden deep.
But at night his playground- jungle,
Is my mind while I sleep.

This monster of my keeping,
Is strong and swift and white, 
He was not meant for taming, 
but for murder in the night. 

With new rope I hide em daily, 
sew him out of sight and thought, 
The isolation keeps me living, 
but the peace is labor bought. 

I found him just a kitten, 
I took him to my house to play, 
But now, he's grown to prowl and hunt,
And break and kill his prey.

I have a tiger in my chest, 
containment, lust and lies.
So mend the fence, and lock the cage,
and if he's loose, we die.
