The Ropes

There's a room in a house thats filled with ropes

The ropes are strung out and partially frayed

They're tightly bound from left to right and they serve no purpose

There's too many of them to count in an otherwise empty room

They're not carnal and theyre only metaphorical every. other. line.

The ropes go right through me pretending that I'm the ghost in this house

They spear right through my skin and stay perfectly still and silent

They leave no shadows, they feel no fear

They leave me stranded but attached

and yet,

They comfort me.
