Strings Attached

October 15, 2013

You are the first amazing thing

that has come into my life

without strings attached.

And I've been overcome with happiness

more than ever before

in my life.

But you seem to good to be true

and my anxiety has climbed into my lungs

and has left me starving for air.

So I've tied strings to your wrists

and to the beating in my chest

and I can finally breathe again.

Now there are forces stopping me

from being selfish with you

and I swear to God I'm in love.
