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
