You keep me hanging from your heart by a string
Where I sway unsteadily in the current of your contradictions.
Watching the sun move across your heart
Lightness to dark, boldness to fear.
I bask in the golden rays from your warmth
Swinging free, my feet touching stars.
I shiver frozen in your night
When your fear creeps out for the uncertainty of your blindness.

My arms have grown weary with the weight of holding on
Waiting for the refuge I know exists.
Where I am lifted from this string into your beating heart
We both watch the darkness fade to dawn.

You leave me wondering as my hands grow numb
If it would not be better to cut this string
Plunge down.
Than to brave your night and day
When I know you've caged your sun.
