Hold fast
what I give you.
I am an expert
at this game.
Give and take,
take and give.
I stay on guard.
Ready in a moment.
I rip back.
A glance, a word, a kiss-
framed the wrong way-
I dissipate.
If you do not want to break-
disappear.
I stitch my heart to my sleeve,
seam ripper at the ready,
I rip it out of your hands.
What I give you
hold fast.
