Fastened

Safety pins
Not really safe
Too easily come undone
Like love affairs
With pressure slight
Ignored and they draw blood

    • …at the end yes. But in the beginning it’s the fastened ones that fool you, ignore them at your peril. I have been on the receiving end of a safety pin I thought was fastened, ignored, that came undone, and drew blood. 😉 Plus very often, I like a title that could also be the first word of the poem, silly I know…but it makes me smile. 🙂
