Thread

An ancient Chinese legend once said that a red line of thread connects two hearts that are destined to be together

If this is so

A delicate red thread is extending from my chest and slowly stitching our hearts together. It is drawing our hearts closer and my heart has been missing your halve all this time. Every beat of your halve is echoing mine.


If it is true

This scarlet thread is getting tangled as our hearts wove and bent to fit each other. It is knotting itself into a labyrinth and our hearts are twisted into abnormal grotesque shapes. It is stretching and fraying. My heart is bleeding as yours is moving away.


This legend is true

Because I took a pair of scissors and snipped away the mess of red thread. To this day my heart is still scarred and trembles at another red threat.
