our string

at each end
of
a string
we
placed ourselves
opposite
to draw
each other
hopefully
meeting midway

you clutched
your end
with
a loose grip
while i
i had wrapped
my end
around
my hands

but
instead of
walking
towards each other
guided by
this string
i had pulled
hard
while you
you had let go

i fell
bringing with me
our string
and
i felt
my hands
wounded
then
i saw you
just
watch me
bleed
