they held us tighter,
got us closer,
made us stronger.
they were just another yarn
that we sewed to our hips
and held to our lips
that secret trust.
and we had so many ties-
so many strings
that we got confused.
we were lost inside our
own web of lies and promises.
we became tangled
as we tried to free ourselves
only to suffocate the other.
and it became such power
behind every motion,
such pride behind every twist,
such pain behind every
choking breath.
one day though,
one day we got smart.
we got sick of all the power,
all the fighting,
all the struggles to be free.
and stopped sewing up
our lives together.
we started to break apart,
we started to cut those ties,
we started to burn that yarn.
but some were just
a bit more tangled
and a little harder to get out.
and slowly, we were losing
everything we ever
stayed together for.
with just a few left to break
i see the struggle in your eyes
i hear the weakness,
in your voice.
arent you sure that
im not good enough?
after all this time?
you think you can go
and change your mind?
ive begged,
ive pleaded,
and i am done.
i am done
wishing on that star.
i will cut the ties
you are too afraid to lose.
i will cut that yarn
because its exactly
what i have to do.
because i know what
i need and i know
exactly what i want.
and i dont need
our lies and promises.
i dont need our
empty web of love.
i need my own strength,
my own guts to say
goodbye.
i need to prove to
myself that i am better
then you EVER viewed me,
that i am worth
EVERY star in the sky,
and that EVERY second
of your life, you will regret
losing mine.
