He pulls a rope you have wrapped around your mind,

        never really wanting to see where it all ends, 

                 why its all intertwined.

He keeps your ideas entertained. 

He feeds an attention you crave.

He keeps you close

       but feeling empty 

                 & wanting more. 

As long as he holds you

        there's no telling you 

 that those who deserve you 

        don't just pull,

             they unravel the rope;

strand by strand

        with the determination of time 

             until 

The dark parts of you 

        are defeated by the light you see in yourself.
