One thread, two heartbeats. We stretch the seam. A shared skin, fraying at the edges. One thread, two heartbeats. We stretch the seam. A shared skin, fraying at the edges. I take a step— you pull the weight. We tighten the knot we try to break. We try to break. Torn wide open. Held by a thread. The closer we pull, the more we shed. Torn wide open. Where do you end, and I begin? Woven in shadows. Tangled in grey. Every move forward rips us away. Fragile mesh, wearing thin. I take a step— you pull the weight. We tighten the knot we try to break. Grip tight. Lean back. Listen for the snap. Grip tight. Lean back. No turning back. Grip tight. Lean back. Listen for the snap. Torn wide open. Held by a thread. The closer we pull, the more we shed. Torn wide open. Where do you end, and I begin? Fibers on the floor. Silence in the space. Free now. Fading trace. Fading trace.
