Without You

It cannot be unwound

From this tight little knot

The ball of saddened twine

Rolls along unattended

Keeping itself together

 

Not long passes

Before your gone

The twine left alone

Forever to roll

Numb and sad

 

Unraveling in places

You can no longer visit

It’s sadness left

To stay

In place of you

 

 

Never will a time

Pass without a memory

To bring along happy

To accompany sad

On its long journey

 

Many hearts will see

Even more will feel

The pull of that twine

On their hearts

Without you
