2025/Emma G.-

What brought us together

will be what tears us apart -

Home is where the Navy takes us

and that’s what sent you here -

Allow me to spin you a yarn

Because you started as a story -

Strands twining together

Before the inevitable

snapping of the loose threads

Unravel -

didn’t realize the descend

two acquaintances on the mend -

Denial

didn’t see it coming

DIDN’T SEE IT RUNNING

Slammed from behind by the obvious -

You leaving; me staying

What brought us together

is what tears us apart -

Unraveling -

Don’t want to loose another friend

Never leave; never end

Loosening the string

Letting it go

UNAVOIDABLE -

Left, like a lonely yarn-ball tumbleweed,

What brought us together

is what’s stretching us

tearing us

breaking us

apart

Until snap

unraveled -
