Bound

I still carry you around
my one lost cause

misconceived

understood, but disconnected

reeled around my heart
I pretend not to notice

like you don’t' notice, anymore

I spend my covert days
remembering, in hiding

thoughts of you no longer fed
a world of useless loss

I'm pulling at the cord that secures us
forever
but it's still bound too tight

and you are still

so close
