around my hand
this thread is raveled
tighter it gets
the stronger i hold

my heart is laced
for me to hold
the string that pulls
sinks deep into the tissue

until the blood
drips to kiss
the floor, the puddle of love
it all morphed into more

then what was presented
surprise, your presence
leave me level headed
i can’t think straight, my lines inverted

you invented as i invested
i love you, there i said it
this subdues my void
you are not my toy

i can’t play these games
leave in fantasies
look
