unbolt me 
Wow. When it hit me, I remained staring at the screen for a minute. Wonderful, very beautifully written. The metaphor in the last line strikes very well.

It does! Like with other poems sometimes you just come across something and it squeezes you almost as if it were you it was talking about.
