Knots

I just never thought you’d be

the person to end up jaded.

Well, maybe I did - before.

When harm gripped me so tightly

I couldn’t know much else.

But you, you were so sure then-

So adamant that it would never be you

So certain that pain would not

remain a constant necessity.

I thought you were delusional then.

I guess I was right in some capacity.

Because here you are,

pulling the knots you’re meant to loosen tighter-

garbled and jumbled, the links are unrecognizable

It’s gonna take a while to unravel

If that’s even what you want to do

Cause it seems like you may prefer

leaving them to the elements so

you can spend time cursing

the weather instead.
