A connection once so resilient,
We thought it would withstand it all,
Is now irreparable.
It cannot be restrung,
A thread so frayed,
And decayed.
Unraveled,
Undone,
Gone.

This is amazing!
This reads so smoothly! Like the unraveling of the thread!
Very descriptive.
Wonderful!!!❤️❤️💕
I love this… although I really want to switch the first two lines with each other and add a word to the third to make the symmetry perfect… I love how the poem descends in a kind of reverse pyramid 🤍🫶🏻
