Heartstrings
Feelings like filaments
Crossing a line
Tug and pull
Twist and twine
They rope you in
Unbending and grim
Breaking a bond
You drag me along
With a stitch or twinge
You pant and blow
I tremble and cringe
Till the fever's repose
You throb and quiver
I shiver and squirm
You fidget and twitter
As I boil and burn
You curse and explode
Shrieking glorious prose
But your hunger and thirst
Leave me numb and cold
Grateful for sleep
Without pleasure or pain
Without love or desire
Hate or disdain
