the first three,
she ties around your feet
carefully, precisely
she has to be sure
that you will never
walk away.
four more
around your legs and hips,
it doesn't have to be this way
you say, you wouldn't leave
this if you could... and though
she never wanted you
as badly as she said...
we all lie sometimes.
though now that you're here,
you'll stay a while...
not that you have a choice...
two feet left to bind your hands
by now you've forgotten
who you used to be...
and you don't care anymore
about the life you left behind.
you've resigned yourself
to this monotony...
six feet more are all that is left...
so she ties one end to a tree
you've already sworn yourself away
you gave up the struggle ages ago...
and when the time comes-
she doesn't have to push,
she doesn't even have to command...
three days pass,
and no one says goodbye
no one remembers you.
maybe you are not
who you thought you were...
maybe you are no-one at all.
