No strings attached

You asked for no strings attached 
So I pull at my lose threads 
I feel as though I am about vomit 
I don’t recognize who I am anymore and neither do you 
But I keep pulling because 
You asked for no stings attached 
Each imperfection is another lose end for me to pull 
…
I am smaller now I have shrunk down to half my size 
Because you asked for no strings attached 
Would you put me in your pocket and carry me around or would you put me in a box where I could never be found 
Passing thoughts so I can ingore reality
The world moves on as I wind down as I pull the last thread I hear no sound 
I see no light 
I feel no joy 
No pain no sorrow 
Nothing but a shimmering light 
I emerge  from a tunnel with all new strings 
Bound together by all that is me 
I look inside the tunnel that I had left I see you pacing around what is left 
A pile of thread that is no longer 
Because you asked for no strings attached

Your poem reflects a profound and personal narrative of navigating the aftermath of a relationship defined by its lack of attachment, ultimately finding strength and new identity through the process. Your evocative language and metaphorical depth create a resonant emotional landscape that invites readers to reflect on their own experiences of connection and self-discovery.
