Frayed Lace
When you ask ‘Are you ok?’
all I want to say,
is how not ok I am;
Like a piece of frayed lace;
When you’re around
all I want to say is
‘No one else makes me
feel so alive.’
I’m coming undone
just to hold it together;
Since it’s just not my place
to let you see in my face
that I’m falling apart
Like a piece of frayed lace.
