Elastic bands fill my pockets,
Always stretching to comfort you,
Molding life around the universe,
Look at me, I am not hurt,
I will give up, I swear on my life,
But I never seem to let go,
Always at the back of my mind,
Not planned maliciously but not kind,
I am so busy with so much to do,
But when you are close, my life
Stops.
