Wind Me Up

a limerick about an unhealthy relationship

Loving you is like clockwork revolving around each other,

incredible cogs in the machine of our earthly mother.

And while we're deaf-dancing to the tune of the rose-colored cosmos,

we're not aware enough to know that we're almost

bound to be the heat death of our universe, a fire we can't smother.

    This is deep and powerful! I love your original, more serious take on this. ❤️ The rhyme scheme fits that of a limerick 🥰
