These threads pull together <br />These threads weave together your existence <br />Your dependence <br />And as we look to the sky <br />We live <br />And as we hide <br />Cut the rope that he’s tied <br /> <br />I’m bound by the tension that we’ve placed between us <br />This silence is simple <br />We look at our hands <br />Weather by scorn <br />And bruised by demand <br />As we lift these heavy expectations <br /> <br />We breathe for the threads that hold us together <br />We breathe for the stitches that hold us in place <br /> <br />These threads pull together <br />These threads weave together <br />And once we’ve forgotten <br />These threads will unravel…<br /><br />Audrey Stephenson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/threads-5/
