Invisible String

"She holds a string

But no one can see.

An invisible force

Which uncontiously enslaves.

Her hand holds one end

And to his heart another extends.

Like a dog on a leash

He is re-routed and teased.

Confident in his direction

She tugs with no affection.

Each yank brings emmense pain

From within his soul up to his brain.

Trapped and confused

He knows he should be free to choose.

From him she wont let go.

She feels security knowing the safety net remains below.

She cannot put another through such distress

Just to feel reassurance in her own rest.

He's not a kite.

Stop holding tight.
He should be free to soar above the clouds

To another world where his place may be found.

She needs to release him for heavens sake

Before finally forever from her he breaks."
