silver chain

when i thought i couldn't get more vulnerable
he came too close and opened his arms.
again to wait a day or two, by three then more
empty, left again
why can't i just, can not resist.
this purpose,
drives any human crazy.
How?
just how many women
can get by a day without tears
after hearing so many lovely words

there's string holding my pinkie
promising that someday
someone, a good one
will come by
and save me.
He will love me more,
have you wish for this lady back.

i admit, i think far too much
linger my lips, tempting for your voice at times
but self-control has for once,
given me strength.
and as much as my tears will fill
i resist to reach for that line.
