Broken Strands

Iridescent spiderweb strands
Woven over time.
Tenuously linking
Our hearts and minds.
An ache gives notice you are slipping away.
Pulling, stretching the silken strands
Until...
You were gone.
Unplugged from me.
And I from you.
Neatly slicing
My heart in two.
Only a vestige remains.
The broken strands are left
Limply moving
In the wind.
