Pic: Self

you pretend
to be powerless,

yet you bind me
at the seams,

each thread
you weave,

always keeping me
within your reach,

my yearning
to break away,

you know
is more an act than intent,

for you hold me together
at the depths,

where none else
could ever reach,

and maybe
that is why,

each night
you seem to mock,

the rebellious tides
of my waves.
