I feel the strings are breaking
The ones that hold us close
Pulled taunt
by the load they bear
the unspoken words
Growing heavier
as we refuse to say them
Fearing that our strings will brake
And knowing that they will
We are fraying
Our hopes cannot save this
The ties that bind us
Now burn us
from inside
Yet we will continue
Us fraying people
To pretend that
no unspoken words
No terrifying feelings
No burning ties around our hearts
Exist
Because no one wants to be
Alone
These are the ties that bind
These burning strings
That will continue to scorch us
Until we cut them
out of our hearts
Or speak
those burning words
And face
These scorching feelings
