Interior of a cityscape

i once lived in a city so large 
the people you see one day- 
you may never see again. 

unless you remain intertwined, 
gathering pieces of yarn 
trailing a path from person to person. 

we walked together as the time slowly faded, 
slower and slower we remained 
out on the streets as the sidewalk blended 
perfectly into the sky. 

intertwined on my path to stardom
from where i currently stay 
a former place i cannot lose
no matter how far i will stray. 

and the moments i've gather make up who 
i am and who i believe we all are 
shaped by the people surrounding me 
by the people that bound me 
tethered to a former day.
