Shattered whole

You don’t fall asleep in love and wake up indifferent.

you severed the strings between us with such precision,

while mine still cling to you—some frayed, some tangled.

I am slowly unraveling

the untangling will take time for me.

knots remain, i just need patience.

one day, when every thread rests neatly in my hands,

you will never cut away a piece of me again.
