My heart is twisted
unknown to me why
I feel the coil tighten
almost as if I might die

Winding together
all the strands of my life
as they pass before my eyes
interlocking to the point of breaking

The contortion is beyond the daily norm
each intertwined piece a part of me
good, bad and even ugly
what can I do my heart is squeezed between two

Love is supposed to be a blending
not a repeating ride
taking all I know and circling with lies
revolving into this spiral when will I realize

That the twist and turns need to be taken in stride
true love will balance what I feel inside
showing me how to undo the knots that have formed
and uncurl each one, as time will allow

Until then I slide with the spiraled strands
in my chest-unknowing if it will be for the best
I will simple have to guess if I truly will always
be a twisted mess

A twisted mess? No I don't think you will risk this to last, as you know "that true love will balance what you feel inside" ...

Very powerful words...sprinkled with wisdom.
Love, Margherita

Thank you both so much
I wanted to try something in my
poems and just was not sure what would come out of it
