Pieces and Strings

Pieces & Strings

Against my will
I’m drawn to you
Connected to a string that
Tugs my heart each time you breathe.

Without my permission
I’m lost without you
Your voice was the compass that
Led me north into your arms.

I thought it would be easier
To walk away from you
But I never realized that I
Can only survive in
Your hands.

My heart is in your hands.

I left pieces of me with you
And like the machine that only
Runs when held together

Without you
I fall apart.
