Chain Link Poem by Sara Militello

Chain Link

They say a chain's only as strong
as its weakest link:
I'm thinking of the times my heart broke
into many links,
Times I tried for two and cried for more-
stuck through thick and thin
and excruciating effort not to out-spin.

Where was the weak link in that chain of love?
Somewhere, there must be a clue
so I begged this question of who...
'How is it so many on Earth
seem to have managed to find love true?
Or is it as true they have found it to be as I?
Blue! '
