Dec 2013
I am torn, mangled thread
shreds entwined, firmly into a ball
tears of rough fiber discolored red
as I am cut, beginning to fall
Β 
Extracting the needle from within
bleeding, to unravel all my pain
I untangle, breaking off as I spin
decimated thread, with sorrow's stain
Β 
Ravaged strands, fell to be free
my weak twine, now unwoundΒ 
the knot of darkness once held me
though no longer has me bound
Β 
The despair that pained me clears
my heart's released from the sling
threads grew strong, dry of tears
I land, as unbreakable string.
