undone
like the way an entire scarf can be
unrecognizable
if you pull the right strings
like the way a teapot
shatters
when you drop it
like the way a melody is
distorted
when you add an extra sharp
like the way water becomes
dangerous
with just a drop of poison
and like the way you left me
broken
with just five words
so can the prettiest things
unravel
in a matter of seconds
