Tethers

A Poem

By Sylvia BonesPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

It’s difficult to tell

If my sanity is sane

If it’s mended together by delicate strings of love

Or unbreakable tethers of hate

More to the love than the latter

For it seems broken, shattered even

The sight of a single ray of light

Upon the perfect features set upon a pedestal

That I make for you

With my tears that have been ripped

From my eyes by mere thoughts

Of your passing glance

Seems to pull at those strings

Of the spider web

Therefore

Can it not be made from hate?
