Sever the Thread

Everything has

a beginning, a middle,

and an end.

We spent years

weaving our bonds

together;

Stitching many days

of laughter and tears

into one beautiful

tapestry.

I thought the thread

of our friendship

was infinite,

Yet I understand that

everything has

a beginning, a middle,

and an end.

Things happen for

a reason,

No matter how

complicated.

Sewing the final

seams on our tapestry,

I am now ready

to cut the thread.
