Heartstrings

Was it fear

That got to me

Of the unknown

That shot through me

What is it

That you can’t see

When you play

With my heartstrings

If it was fear

That held me

Enraptured

In captivity

Then I say

To thee

Stop playing

With those heartstrings

For it is fear

That haunts me

Of losing you

Taunts me

And I pray

As it flaunts me

Before the world

Exposing my heartstrings

And you say

That you’re sorry

Of worrying me

Agonizingly

What is it

You can’t see

When you play

With my heartstrings
