Tangled Poem by Faith Wood

Let's untangle our wires
Roll them up and put them into individual piles
There's no need for any crossing
I never wanted to be intertwined
Hearts and hands should live separate lives
But you took me between your teeth
and said, 'This is the way things are going to be.'
And like a bird in a cage
I did my best to flap my wings
and reach the nearest window
But with every chance that came my way
I decided to be like the worm and play it safe
The dirt is my haven
But with you around how can I forget?
