Strings Attached

Your love comes with strings attached Each dainty string has a message Only I can see Each one reveals How I must behave What I must feel How I must look What I must think Strings…. You’ve made them pretty Colorful Enticing But they are strings nonetheless The gift of your love has strings I’m afraid to open it Afraid to get entangled In the strings of your Demands Wants Needs Expectations And so……….. I take out the scissors of truth Snip, snip, snip Clip, clip, clip Rip, rip, rip Ah…..here…a free gift of love I accept it! I ACCEPT IT! My darling, Didn’t you know That my little heart Comes………….. With no strings attached?
