Saddle of the heart

it reached but was always short of contact
and then it was tamed
it wanted but was always short of effort
and then it was tamed
it thought but was always short of the answer
and then it was tamed
it lay down but was always short of sleeping
and then it was tamed
it gave but was always short of generous
and then it was tamed
it desired but was always short of love
and then you tamed me
