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.

&quot;You&#039;ve got to learn to move on, because life will move on. If you don&#039;t move on, you&#039;ll just end up in over your head.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Never regret anything because at the time, it was exactly what you wanted.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;We accept the love we think we deserve.&quot;
