No Strings Attached

That rope that held them together Through four years of stormy weather That rope that tied them together Chaining them forever Have been severed by his move The constant Tug-O-War Pulled him to her and her to him But she couldn’t bear the attachment Of a love who’s so far away She grabbed the hatchet and began slicing away The years of memories incased in the thick, tan, braided rope Sawing away the pain of the love lost and the hope for its return Once the deed was done, Little strands remained among the rest Wobbling and wiggling as thin as a spider’s web dangling in the air in front of our faces Tying you to me and me to you But I couldn’t bear the attachment Of a love who’s so far away We’re drowning one another in our tears from broken hearts that are yearning for affection We’re ripping one another apart with our sharp claws that are reaching for the rope Those little strands that held us together Through the stormy weather Those little strands that tied us down Chaining us forever Have been set fire to by me Slamming us into the walls of our current home Flinging us into the place where we belong Pushing us into the arms of others Forcing us to let go No strings attached… But the pain of a love lost still remains Floating in the air above our heads On the imaginary string that our acquaintances wish weren’t there Even with no strings attached I still love you But I must let go And you must to For we can’t resort lastly to one another when we’re lonely… This is the end… No strings attached…
