There was something amiss!

Her left hand was tingling!

Oh no! She began to panic.

Her mind was racing.

*

Her heart!

It must be her heart.

Damn, but it had been under a lot of stress lately.

She had taken on a lot.

*

She had opened it up.

She had allowed herself to be vulnerable.

To love, unconditionally.

The good and bad.

*

As it turned out, it became bad.

There was a distance that could not be breached.

A chasm that she could not cross.

Was not allowed to cross.

*

She looked down at her hand,

Noticed that it had turned blue.

This was worrying.

She rubbed the cold skin.

*

It was then that she saw it.

There was a band around her wrist.

Tight, constricting.

She'd forgotten she'd put it on.

*

It had made her so happy at first.

It meant that she belonged to him.

She was proud, happy to wear it.

But now...

*

Now it cut off the circulation.

It stymied her.

Constricted her.

It broke her spirit

*

With a concerted effort,

She dug her nails under and

Pulled the damned thing from her wrist.

It snapped, with a loud CRACK!

*

There was a deep mark,

From the band,

But, as she rubbed

She knew that she would heal.

*

As she stroked her wrist,

She was amazed to see

The colour changing,

The tingle diminishing.

*

It was a shame. She'd once thought

That the tingles were the best part.

Now, suddenly, she felt happy.

For she was free.
