The ties that bind
once, so tightly bound;
the strength of the chords
have lost their sound
and now weakens
Threads loose and frayed;
their strength
beginning to fade
softened by my tears
unravel themselves
like the words on this very page

I have come undone
I am a crumpled
piece of paper
waiting to be
ironed out

Help me once again
Bring me back
the laughter that
once spilled from your lips;
and the **** smile  
I once traced
with my fingertips
Bring me back you

The ties that bind
need only a tug
from me, from you
together
so that the unraveled
words can once again
become the poetry
of our love song
