i'm coming apart at the

S⃒⃒ ⃒E⃒⃒ ⃒A⃒⃒ ⃒M⃒⃒ ⃒S⃒⃒ ⃒ smiles

untangle the strings of my heart

untwist the ties of my soul

unwind the threads of my mind

until i'm unraveled

and the knots unknotted

my innermost being

exposed

bleeding softly

down my face

tiny trails of me

trickling out

smoothing my frayed pieces

a babbling brook

of broken

hopes

journeys

dreams

heart

promises

lay s ο½” ο½’ ο½… ο½” c h ο½… d βƒ˜ out

across the wispy woven floor of

my consciousness

i look away to unsee it all but

it's still right there

in front of me

gently bidding me to see

not just look, but see

and i come undone

it can't be unseen but

it can be unpacked

that of the world

snipped out

and spliced

now a smooth section where a tangle

once gripped tightly

You knew me in my hidden form

because You knit me together there

I close my eyes and

let go of the

very strands of me

as You knit me

back together.

β€œMy frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, The days fashioned for me, When as yet there were none of them.” Psalms‬ ‭139‬:‭15‬-‭16‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
