Unraveling the Thread

A connection once so resilient,

We thought it would withstand it all,

Is now irreparable.

It cannot be restrung,

A thread so frayed,

And decayed.

Unraveled,

Undone,

Gone.

About the Creator

Alyssa Musso

A scientist by trade, but a creative at heart. One novel in progress with too many other ideas taking up space in my head. Some of those ideas end up here.

    Wonderful!!!❤️❤️💕

  • I love this… although I really want to switch the first two lines with each other and add a word to the third to make the symmetry perfect… I love how the poem descends in a kind of reverse pyramid 🤍🫶🏻
