Piece of String

I am

string

frayed

bound

twirled

undone

twisted

frazzled

snapped

parcelled

balled up

packaged

unbinding

messed up

pulled taut

unravelled

breaking up

hands are tied

bound by love

pulled too tight

falling to pieces

giving and gifting

severed from reality

contracts unbinding

undone and shifting

tying myself in knots

unwinding by afternoon

back together by morning

tying up the complications

restraining true affections

loosening the loose ends

keeping things together

pulled by social media

over-thinking close ties

strung out over money

straight out handy

tied up over time

a stingy stringy

string thing

strong-hold

cut
