Yoyo

You had me.

Wrapped around your finger

Like a yo-yo

Hanging and spinning

Desperate to unwind

At your feet.

 

You let go.

Broken hearts like promises

 

And silence.

 

You always did.

Too impatient to undo the knots

That you had tied

Just shy of my chin.

Loose enough to make it slow

But tight enough

to let you win.
