The woven fibers of our lives give way
And silver threads mislead our hearts and minds
We follow as our edges tear and fray
Forgetting all the ones we left behind
These tethers hold our limbs to what we know
But tie us to the ones we love and lose
What happens when we can’t seem to let go
I don’t think I am strong enough to choose
My indecision is my only hope
My hesitation keeps me by his side
My calloused hands cling to this fraying rope
And to it all my troubles I confide
But sometimes fingers slip and lifelines fail
And leave us to endure our own betrayal
