The Thread That Got Away

There's a thread you follow 

you don't know where it leads to but it's

pulling you in. You're walking for what seems like hours 

but you don’t stop following the thin piece of thread that somehow has a 

power over you that you cannot explain

Keep walking

You think the thread will always be there so you save it for tomorrow

There is no thread tomorrow

You find a piece of yarn and you think it will make you forget 

about the thread but it doesn't, it's the complete opposite of the thread 

The thread is gone and you're shattered

But it was just a thin piece of thread, you can get it anywhere 

Right?

Why do you want to get it again? 

It's nothing but a piece of thread

A piece of thread that you 

love.

And it left

So you want to put the pieces back together. Fix what you already broke the minute you took

advantage of the thread.

You might never find 

that thread again but if you listen closely it might

be calling you again you just are ignoring the signs

Get your thread because you never know what might happen 

if you don't.

I wrote this piece about my mom and dads relationship because it is on and off.
