Heartstring

(for Pemi)

You are the woman
You are my other half 
and I find it hard to desert
You are the thoughts in my head
You are the grip on my hand
that wills me to a fixation
and I find it hard resisting
You are the reason my heart beats
and the reason I feel this nameless pain wrap around me
And still, you are the rare elixir--the balm to heal my wounded soul
