Weak
By: Ashton Mullen

We were making a chain
Made to be strong
It started out short
but built to grow long.

It started out fine
Each link fastened tight
But I missed a small chink
that was plain out of sight.

The chain was growing
At a faster pace
but then I noticed
It start to unlace.

It stretched out far
I heard it rumble
The chink was weak
and started to crumble.

It happened so fast
I didn't expect this
The chain just snapped
Over something I missed.

We worked so hard
To build this bond
it fell apart once
and now it's gone.

You got angry
Your patience was slack
your work seemed worthless
So you turned your back.

It was my fault
I didn't see the chink
Oh why the hell
Did I not check that link?

Now I'm left alone
Holding the broken link
This issue was small
it's just a tiny kink.

This can be fixed
But you took the glue
I can't do this alone
This will take two.

I hope you come back
to finish what we started
You left me all alone
and deeply broken hearted.

You'll think about our chain
and the bond we made
This could've been fixed
if only you stayed.

But even hard workers
need a good break
cause when you come back rested
The more time you'll take.

Every good bond
has a weak link
But every great bond
will rebuild that chink.
