It has been two years since I started burning the edges of my rope
In the impossible fear it may unwind
But I’ve only ever learned knots that are
Impossible to untie

It has been two years since I started burning the edges of my rope
In the impossible fear it may unwind
But I’ve only ever learned knots that are
Impossible to untie
We have a saying – You’ve made a knot with your fingers that you’ll not untie with your teeth.

Oh wow I like that a lot! Where is this saying from?
Well I have been assuming it’s Scottish, but I believe it’s actually Irish.
That’s really an amazing quote, especially how much it fits this poem. Thank you for telling me! Do you mind if I open the poem with this from now on?
Not in the slightest – I have no copyright on it. 🙂
Yeah I can see exactly what you mean! Love it!
