A silken thread
A spiders web
cuts me deep inside
do you feel it?
you never said
but then neither
did I.
You're the adult, I'm the child
as it will always be
I pray the thread will pull you back
to hold the child in me

Short? Yes
Simple? I think not. There is a lot in this that has not been said, but speaks volumes (to me at least) all the same x

Im glad this meant somthing to you Kheldar, I tried to re-write it several times but came back to the first version, the others didn't seem to say it right,
I'm pleased I did now, X

This is a brilliant little ditty, Shoe! Especially love the assonance/rhyme that creates such great rhythm!

thanks Magic, I'm not really sure what you're saying, but it sounds like a compliment! so thank you very much, I promised myself I would learn more about the technicalities of writing, you may have just spurred me on,:}}}

I promise you Shoe that was a compliment ;) All I mean is that when you read your piece out loud it flows really well because of the rhymes you've included!
