And the Petals Fall

Hanging Relationship Threads

~

Learning about relationships

Is fearsome when they're surprising.

You barely know who you need to bond with

Or repel away from.

It's a yarn of mistakes;

You cut ties with people who try to stitch your crevices

Misunderstanding it as agonizing harm,

And tie threads on people holding scissors sharpened,

Thinking that they'll cut you free.

It's so easy to be wrong,

Yet so hard to right it out.

But keep trying.

It'll sound deceiving and hopeless.

But keep trying.

The right people will stick with you even when you don't look for them.

So keep trying.

Don't close in on yourself, don't die on yourself; all of that pain isn't worthless.

Keep trying.
