Cutting Ties

A poem.

How do you let go of someone you have a million ties to?

Let me tell you, it is no easy feat.

I fear the only way to accomplish such a task is to

slowly,

gradually,

painstakingly

cut…

one or two ties at a time,

breaking your heart and soul with every moment that draws

the two of yours farther and farther apart.

For more.

About the Creator

Lizzy Gabrick

I spent many years reading and writing in my adolescence but have found inspiration has lapsed since I have become more settled into my adult life--a career and marriage. I look forward to changing that and sharing my creations with you.
