Got options

It's a coin toss 
with a life at stake 
in tiny ways, every 
day you wake 
not knowing what's worse 
between nothing to give 
and no one to give 
it to.

Oh, as if 

It isn't that there isn't 
any one. It's only 
you've ruled them 
all out. Gone. Done.

Since they each 
proved no fun 

by the final exchange.
You wanted something else,
not same ol' same, and
it always does seem
to pan out that way. 

To be string free, 
or knot. 

Well, which is it 

today?
