Unraveling My Tapestry

I created a tapestry.

So lovely.

Depicting everything I cherish.

Depicting my dream life.

The only thing missing was him.

Time passed.

The threads start to fray.

I joined them as best as I could

The tapestry remained intact.

Held together with stubborness.

I created a tapestry.

So lovely.

Depicting everything I cherish.

Depicting my dream life.

The only thing missing was him.

More time passed.

The colors faded.

I dabbed them with paints and dyes.

The tapestry remained intact.

Held together with denial.

I created a tapestry.

So lovely.

Depicting everything I cherish.

Depicting my dream life.

The only thing missing was him.

Even more time passed.

The panels began to pull away from each other.

I stitched them back together, yet they were never the same.

The tapestry remained intact.

Held together with pride.

I created a tapestry.

So lovely.

Depicting everything I cherish.

Depicting my dream life.

The only thing missing was him.
