Pulling at strings
Zigzagging, entwining
Fingers wrapped up tight

Constant blinking
Path striking and everlasting
Imply left or right

Stomp, clack, shuffle, thump
The foot hits the ground
At first only tweeting
Not another sound

Burning heat
Soaks through the skin
A Window opens
What lies within?

Each step forward
Another back
Can’t shake this feeling
Hug, break, defend, attack.

Speak up, unclear
Silence and me.
Awake but dead
Pieces of me spread out
Into darkness.
To Dread.

Repetition, full of pride
Expectations by my side

Push and pull
This rope did break.

Cycling does cost
Lover, lustre, lost.

Slick and hot
wasteful heart
self-sabotage

This lapse
love in contrast
This won't last

Close your eyes
and consume.
Found amusing,

a choice.
