Unraveling, by MacKenzie Hood


Unraveling -April 2
You took time, and unraveled it
Like a ball of yarn, laid out and exposed to the world.
Frantically, I try to collect it in a heap in my arms,
But the seconds slip away 
And I trip over the knots. 

I wish I saw the few seconds you still held,
So that I could see you smile once more.
But good things never last. 
Seconds taken for granted have slipped through my grasp,
And all I have left is the mess that remains.
