String Tension

It's important that you know I tried
But it's tiring
Since when is underdoing enough
Since when is enough not doing enough

Things fall short of my attention
Because I want to be the string's tension
I want to feel the elastic pull
Loosening my threads
Severing my connections
I enjoy the pain
It is all for a good cause

Eventually I break
I rip in two, disassemble into twins
Of equal length
Of equal matter
Of equal function

And I restart
Pull
Pull
Pull

Midway hands stray on fingertips
Fingertips stray on thin air
And off they go
Rocketing to opposite sides
Colliding against the reality
That all things are halved
Nothing is whole

True Love

Lest you think you are less

Less will be all you are

It takes a moment to understand

But you play a role

You have a part

You build your character

The quotes and the dreams

Throw yourself in the spotlight

Can you spot the light?

So it seems...

Insecure little boy

Or a hardened old man

The golden old days

The touch of the sand 

Pay no mind to the stronger

They don't know what they say 

You'll be weak for a month

To be strong for a day 

Rip off the roots of all those

Who don't believe in your struggle

It's your life that's at stake

Not their time 

Not their trouble

But once you find one that stays

That'll soak up the blame

Hold on to that tight

Then hold all the same 

True love is elusive

But true love can be gained

True love is awarding
True love can be saved
