Tether

Give me seconds, give me thirds! Do I deserve what you've preserved!? Lovesick, heartsick--kept chained inside Numb--tight lipped, captive to the fear Listening to the gears as they begin to turn Watching in dismay as everything starts to rust I must release myself & become one among the captives Love crippled, my heart's petrified of letting someone in Losing sleep--tossing & turning amongst the sheets Moonlit screams come piercing in--waking me from my dream Breaking every tether, drifting like a feather I smoother the 3 leaf clover, list I wish for another dreamboat lover.
