Staple

[4-OH]

It keeps us together, that bond that
We share. Through the rough and tumble
Of people's hands, it stays strong.
It curls around us and holds us
Tight, withstanding the picking and prodding from
Others, or even ourselves. But
Eventually, that staple that has kept us as one
For so many years, will rust, and the
Two of us will drift apart.

hmmmm....... sounds depressing.

It's not really meant to be depressing. The end part is supposed to show how the only that could rip us apart was death, meaning we had to drift apart.

Extended metaphors ftw %):D

I hope you're not talking about sweet Phoebs! You guys are awesome together.

Nicely written piece

Edit: If it was about drifting apart through death, then I do hope you're talking about lovely Phoebs :D
