Heart Strings Are Ropes

My heart strings are ropes

that attach to people like hooks

they reach their strong arms and latch on

and never lose grip.

When you try to leave

my heart is still attached

so leave now, fast.

before the hook's teeth sink deeper,

biting into a yearning security from you

Just rip the fistful of my heart out

that your rope is connected to

like a band aid,

just get it over with.
