Fraying

Threads intertwine so intricate and fine

from their bonds making solidarity

with each glistening string keeping in line

working together in clear parity.

And what they create is something so warm
that they keep the coldest winters at bay

together weathering the harshest storm

until thickly knitted clouds go away

These closely made ties can last forever
if all united and no ends are loose

but should one line succumb to the weather

they'd bend and break like their initial truce.

Wrapped together our hearts could travel

but one weak link would make us unravel.
