unravel

i used to dream we were inseparable
that the threshold of our nature was so closely intertwined we'd never part
that our frays were just decorative stitching, created to honor your eye
and its desire for fashion

dispersed, i become, unstitched and unraveled
we marvel at our fabrics and all we co-created
we lovingly tease apart the remaining pieces
and as we carefully collect our belongings
we jokingly laugh that we neglected the
label that warned of its proper handling

honor in its creation
and with its end
