My Love

I thought you had shattered my heart with your fleeces,

And that I’ve been busy picking up the pieces.

But in reality you’ve stolen it for you own,

And someday you will use it as my gravestone.

Just a whisper of you echoes through my mind,

And still the goose bumps ripple every single time.

You had simply faded to a shadowy figure,

And suddenly in my stolen heart you’re reconfigured.

I wish you could just disappear,

But I’ve learned you will always be near,

For the fibres connecting us are spun of steel,

And while invisible they are solid and real.

These connectors keep you vulnerable to my caress,

Even though my broken heart you still possess.

We are cursed and you will forever be drawn to me,

And the fear causes you to take my heart and leave.

The steel will stretch taught but never snap,

And you are destined to always come back
