*losing people*

The worst pain I have endured,
is connecting with someone: 

laughing with them, looking into their warm eyes,

 and being comforted by their presence in silence,
only for them to decide it is time to slip away,
to remove their thread from your heart.
and instead of gently pulling away in the beginning,
they choose to yank it out all at once.
The heart shatters and bleeds for days.
Until it yearns to tie another knot.
