Torn

[pickles]

~Torn~

I am a rope.
Woven, strong, taut.
Set, tied, and secure.

I am a rope.
Weathered, salty, worked.
Out to sea and sure.

I am a rope.
Tired, twisted, raw.
Not what I used to be.

I am a rope.
Stretched, knotted, cut.
My strength torn from me.

I am a rope.
Frayed, tattered, used.
Unbraided and cast aside.

I am fibers.
Loosed from my constraints.
Lost along the tide.
