you are wound so tight
but thats how tapes work
if you loosened
no beautiful music would come out of your mouth
and sing out a song unlike anything ive heard before
but when i look at you
i see strange things
seemingly pieces missing from your body and face
holes from the whole of a puzzle
i see now
you are wound so tight
because its the only thing keeping you together
