Grand and beautiful I once stood A heart pure and good Decorated in colors so bright Woven in a pattern so tight
Slowly I began to fade Taking on a duller shade My edges were tattered and torn The walls I would no longer adorn
My frayed bits My frayed wits Many loose ends That no one wants to mend
Crumpled and put away Thinking there I would stay When out of the blue A friend I thought true
Slowly you began to mend Tucking in the loose ends Washed me to see My colors set free
Looking like new Our friendship grew You blew away the dust Forming years of trust
Things began to change You acted so strange In your eyes no trust Only manly lust
The whole time you repaired With lust you had stared Wanting only one end From me your friend
You wanted me to keep you warm In my heart you created a storm You tried to wrap yourself in my threads This my heart still dreads
Caught a glimpse of my fading reflection I could not return your affection Hurt you recoiled Then my colors you soiled
Taking my strands In your strong hands You began to tear me apart Beginning with my heart

This is sad! I like the use of the quilt. It could be a person or just a quilt. Curious as to which...? |
