I am bound up inside
A red string, constricting
Keeping my heart tongue-tied
On the edge of extremes
Babbling could-be's between
Contemplative silence in daydreams
A hand, a ghostly touch
Bringing me far from reality
I had not thought I could care so much
A separation imminent
Heartstrings taut and tensed
Fear at the hands of distances
Landscapes stretch out
Lengths I cannot fathom
Depths of water bodies and doubt
A voice, a reminder
Keeping me wrapped up
Wishing life could be kinder
I will just breathe
Wait for our defining moment
One day you will stay with me
