Fairy Tale In Thread
I had a needle,
I had some thread.
I stitched a fairy tale inside my head
The needle was bent from years of abuse
The thread was tattered but still of some use
My stitches were perfect, my stitches were tight
I found my true love, it all felt so right
Days turned to years and I still stitched away
Threading in the memories, of each happy day
A new year started and my thread became weak
I tried to push forward but every stitch would not keep
This thread isn't right, it has changed day by day
The last of my stitches have started to fray
How could this happen with stitching so sure
It must be the thread, its tainted not pure
A halt to all stitching to remove frayed ends of lies
I am seeing things clearly, with forced opened eyes
Fairy tale turned to nightmare, stitched in my mind
My knight in shining armor has left me behind
I had two choices of paths which to take
I could rip away all stitches in thread of heartbreak
My fairy tale ruined by lies and deceite
Say goodbye forever to the thread of a cheat
The hardest of the paths I have chosen to take
A new spool of thread I can trust not to break
The stitching will stay, It can't be undone
With new thread I soon will go forward and stitch one by one
My fairy tale is over but this tale does not end
The thread is now taken for my heart you must mend
My hope for the future is to look back to the past
To reach happily ever after we had to journey this path
