Our connection, us...
We were two bodies
Bound by an umbilical cord...
It used to share sustenance
equally between us,
but once we grew apart,
the nutrients slowed.
We left one another
But that cord waited for years,
seemingly never drying up
and withering away...
But then
one day,
After I considered
it may never
be severed from us,
it did...
The scar it left behind remains;
A reminder, like a navel
Of what it once was,
What it held for us-
But I thank the stars
that we've since learned
To feed ourselves.
