entangled

when you have this, all of a sudden you do not know what you would have done without it, what you would have done with all the time you had available before it was there

these creatures who own you and take up your whole being, these creatures who came out of your body and gradually with time move away further and further (and each of them carry a piece of your heart off into the world)

but they still stay entangled until the day that you or one of them disentangle / escape to leave the other behind even more entangled
