# There was no time

For those that keep spinning their yarn but it keeps getting frayed

I spun the thread into a ball  
I tugged the yarn to keep it taut  
I call a friend, "Want to hang out?"  
They say "Sorry, but I cannot!"  
  
I keep the yarn spinning around  
I'm loosing track of where's the end  
I call a pal, "Hi! Wanna chat?"  
"Sorry, I'm busy with a friend!"  
  
My yarn, it spins and dances 'round  
It tangles, twists and tumbles down  
I text a buddy, "Hey, out tonight?"  
"Yeah, sorry, I'm out of town"  
  
I twist the threads, I'll keep control  
I spin it tighter, keep it safe  
I tag a chum, "Missing you lots"  
"Ah yeah, been busy as of late"  
  
Round it goes, drops on the floor  
My yarn has fallen of my reach  
I post online, "Hey, need a hug"  
But none will dare the silence breach  
  
I've lost my thread, it loosens up  
The ball threatens to come undone  
I message friends, I search around  
But it is clear I am alone  
  
I seek the threads, the jumbled mess  
I try to spin it back in shape  
I stuff it down, I hide away  
I tell myself I'm fine  
  
There's no more thread, no yarn to spin  
No tale where one could just have been  
I know this feeling, it jabs my chest  
I'm sorry, hope I didn't waste your time
