Tie Me In a Knot

I am Nothing.
You are something.
Something I’m wanting.

 

You’ve shown that you are sufficient.
And I’ve shown that I am deficient.
And we are nothing but simplistic.

 

So never mistake me for something which I am not.
Because I’ve learned a lot.
And you know I’ll never stop.

So continue to lop.

 

Just tie me in a knot.
So I can’t run away,
And I can’t be misplaced.

 

Because you know, I can’t stay
in one place.
So tie me up,
Tie me in a knot.

 

Tie me up, and let me rot.
There is nothing I’ve forgot.
Tie me in a knot.

 

I need nothing.
Show me something.
Something I may be daunting.

 

You’ve shown that you are insane.
I’ve shown that I am mundane.
But when we’re together, we may both act the same.

 

So mistake me for something which I am a lot.
Because I’ve learned to stop.
But not to lop.

 

Tie me in a knot.
So I can’t lose myself.
And be not in good health.

 

I can stay, in one space.
But tie me up, just in case.
I lose my place.

 

Tie me up, and have me shot.
There is everything I’ve forgot.
Tie me in a knot.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

A lot of thought went into this. Initially I wrote this like 2 months ago. And I perfected and really sculpted it in 2 months. Now , I'm so happy to finally be able to say that it is perfect in my eyes. This is one of my favorites. Because I took time to work on it, until it was perfect. And I'm proud.
