A needle and thread,
to sitich up the wounds.
His words melt my walls,
and break the silence.
Every thing crumbles;
You pick up the pieces.
the thread and needle
holds me together.
Walls no longer surround,
you knocked them down.
You pull the thread
that is the wound,
stitched up by mama's hand.

The author's comments:
"This is about loving someone or something that you've lost, never wanting to let go, and eventually knowing you have to. This one is about crying, till your face is red, knowing no one can help you, but knowing you want them to.
