Coming Unraveled

A facet of life
A moment that floats by

Looking in
It is a pointless second

In the crimson lace of my life
It is a single thread

However this strand of desperation
This woven string of misfortune

Has caused the pain and sorrow
Of so many

In the intricacy of this lace
This single bit of refined yarn
Can unravel the entire cloth

This miniscule moment
Causes glass to invade my eyes
Causes my skin to grow cold

As this lace becomes untangled
I bid the world goodbye
