tracing strings backwards
pinning moments on a board
only too become entangled
      by     a      feeling  
that   shouldn’t    need      remorse  

unravel the ties
to keep from fraying
weave     in    and    out
to  stop   each   cravings

knit my words into your brain
stitch your chords into my skin

intertwine to rewind time


reclaim  
respire  
consider  
desire


rinse. repeat.


live in denial
    or  
start   a    fire


reclaim  
respire  
consider  
desire


rinse. repeat.


strike the match
stoke the fire

burning bridges
(so i thought)
it doesn't matter
(an afterthought )


its getting late
it's time to think


              (for)   a   lot     more

                       laughter    (a  love   long  after)
