Fragile

Caught in a turmoil
difficult to decide
holding on tight the delicate threads
that bind us together.
Durability lost over the years
frayed ends have developed
need to handle with care
gently tend to it
these threads so fragile
can be easily broken
the way I handle things will decide the course
whether to stretch them beyond limit
or nurture them within the boundaries
faults, mistrust, blame will always exist
to preserve the things close to my heart is a balancing act
