Like an umbilical cord, you keep me tethered,

To that delicious hope I crave so much.

I’m your marionette

And I can’t move my strings.

 

You whisper lies to my bird-brained head,

Telling me I’ll fall into the snake pit again,

Believing I won’t become anything

More than your lover.

 

You were right though,

I’m not going to the moon,

I’m not going to cure all the plights in the world.

I’m not going to slay my own demons.

 

You made that so,

And so, I stay.
