Bee Talarzyk / 10
Each life is like a spool of yarn,
different lengths,
different colors,
different sizes
And the yarn gets tangled
Gets wrapped up and mangled
When you meet someone
and the knots get all tied
So sometimes it’s easier,
to pretend we were never friends,
to untie all those secrets from me
Easier than trying to hold them together
But it also hurts,
to let go
Because you forget
You forget that you attached yourself
to me
To remove all those knots between us
Is painstaking
Because I’m forced
to untangle each bit of you
from me
Watching the yarn slip through my fingers
Because if I don’t,
I risk you ripping my soul out
when you take yours back
from me
