“I have no ties here” she said
That statement tied a noose around my heart.
“No ties?” I thought.

I thought I was a tie to be here
I thought I was a tie to stay
I thought I was a tie to so many memories

The words wrapped around my neck. Constricting the oxygen to my brain.
The ties I had to you seemed to be fraying.
I saw my visions of the future that I held so dear unraveling from those very words.
I couldn’t fight off the thoughts of you cutting ties with me.

She was ******* herself. She was a tangled mess of pain, fears, wants and dreams.
But all I ever wanted to do was sit down and untie those knots.
And unravel that beautiful mind.
All while hoping I could intertwine a connection together forever.

The words that echoed in my head tied themselves around my heart.
They slowly hung my heart out to dry.
I wanted to tie the knot with her.
I wanted to stitch our hearts together forever.
She was my anchor.
She was my tie.
But I guess some knots that are tied come loose.
“I have no ties here”
But my heart will always be tied to her.
