A grip too tight

Dependency is a tendency to use a iron glove not love

Whether a mother or a lover, another's independence does shove

To grovel in a bubble of reliance with walls of compliance

Until soon the one within, pops the bubble with a pin of defiance

From a balloon hollow, tantrums follow a fire out of control

With no walls to prevent falls no parent on patrol

Without a guide by its side baby begins to explore

Until it crawls and then falls, from the window of the eighth floor
