Poem "pull"


I am bonded to you
heart to heart
with a thin blood red string

I thought nothing would change
I thought the thread was too thin to be felt
I thought I was strong enough

The further you are from me
it stretches

The longer you stay away
it stretches

like a rubber band, seemingly beyond its limit
threatening to violently rip my heart out
through my ribs

I am gasping for my breath
as it pulls harder and harder
for every day you are gone

I did not expect it to be like this
I did not expect you to mean this much to me
I did not expect it to hurt this much

When did you become
more important to me,
than me

  1. This is beautiful in my opinion in my interpretation I would say it was either a couple and one has to go far away for work like a distance relationship or something else like that one person doesn't want to be with the other and leaves
