Fishing
It was the pursuit
Like fishing
Gently jerking the line
Keeping the bait just out of reach
Luring the fish
To come get it
And once hooked
You reel slowly
So she feels every pull
As you let her go deeper
You take pleasure
In the illusion of freedom
But you’re still in control
Only letting her go so far
Before reeling her In
Tangled in your lines
You take her to the edge
Before you finally let her go
Happy just to
Catch and release
