The Unrequited chain of love

A man in the middle

A man shackled fixed bound firm
Between 2 women
A cold iron chain
three links long
The mans heart given to one
The other binds her heart

To the man in the middle

Manacles of time and space
Bonds of heart strings
Strained straining pulling
The two women’s links
Do not normally touch
But at one moment they share a view

Of the man in the middle

He touches them both in different ways
Feeling the tightness
Gripping them all
Two wanting to be free
The third not letting them go.
Happier to be bound in pain

To the man in the middle
