the wrong hand

sometimes you grab
the wrong

hand to walk down the road.

you hold it tightly
for as long as you can,
not wanting

to let go, but after
awhile

they're holding you back,
the weight

of them is too much to hold
too hard to pull

along.
you have to uncoupled
and release them,

if you ever want to get
to place,

to the love

you were meant to know.
