Gutted

I saw the prompt and went fishing
For an answer that is often missing
The Perch I had held in the wild
Could now offer words to this child

You see my little one
I have swallowed your hook
It lies deep within my breast
And I am yours

I have surfaced for you now
Upon your gentle hands I rest
Breathing with eyes alert
I`m a keeper

Never mind your friend`s line
It is I who was lured
By your gentle motions
And swam to your open arms

Why have you begun to grip me tight
I am yours; I have no fight
Your pull rips and tears me apart
I have no life, I have no heart

It was the other line that spoke
Offering his friend a beautiful sight
The little boy had no choice
But to reclaim his hook and try again

I saw the prompt and went fishing
For an answer that is often missing
The Perch I had held in the wild
Could now offer words to this child
