A/N: Don't be shy to leave comments! Especially if anyone spots a typo - I'm all ears :)

Surrounded by people
Friendly faces all around
Trading tales across the table
Laughter all about
Yet soon the time is over
Ever such a crowd

Enveloped in laughter
Threading happiness through our hearts
As we share our stories and our secrets
We also share our trust

But underneath their faces
Perhaps snakes lie in waiting
Coiled springs
Prepared to pounce
Waiting ever so patiently
For the whole trust a heart can give

Foolish of I
As to share my secrets
And my stories
And my trust
Because in doing so
I traded pieces of my heart

And so
As the heart is given
Comes the love of friends
A bond which human beings need
Like a string
Tied to my heart

But don't be fooled
The string can beak
Sometimes cut
The bond, severed
Cannot be replaced
But

Some strings can be tied anew
Just as they were before
Never quite the same
As what they once were
Yet bonds broken
Make room for more

Do not forget: a string tied
Might soon break in two
But do not be fooled
A string severed
A bond broken
May become a rope once more.
