I am trying to let go of you, <br />But it is you who have me - <br />Hook, line and sinker. <br /> <br />I plunged into love <br />In a smooth arc - <br />Like a fish out of water - <br />Gulping in blue sky. <br />I heave on the thick air, <br />Tumbling into your arms, <br />Gasping. <br />My heart is caught in your net. <br />I am thrashing weakly <br />Against all these threads of feelings <br />That knot into a fine mesh and bind me. <br /> <br />And you with the grace of a dancer, <br />Cast your net out to me, <br />And with strong arms, <br />Reeled me in. <br />Now you must decide <br />To fish or cut bait.<br /><br />Lillian Susan Thomas<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/fish-or-cut-bait/
