Hooks
They stretch from me
On many lines
They latch on moments
And reach through time
They draw the moments
To my mind
And now the tension
Leaves me blind
Although I’ve drawn
Some moments near
There are some hooks
Still far from here
Some hooks on things
I can’t control
With lines that tug
And rip and pull
I ask for strength
To cut these lines
On distant hooks
For peace of mind
I need these hooks
For things close by
So I may live
Instead of cry
On many lines
They latch on moments
And reach through time
They draw the moments
To my mind
And now the tension
Leaves me blind
Although I’ve drawn
Some moments near
There are some hooks
Still far from here
Some hooks on things
I can’t control
With lines that tug
And rip and pull
I ask for strength
To cut these lines
On distant hooks
For peace of mind
I need these hooks
For things close by
So I may live
Instead of cry
