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
