One Stitch At a Time
dedicated…
to this hurt
to this pain
until you
ask
me
why?
I cannot explain
and I want
to tear my heart
OUT!
and show you
everything
that I am..
not
the edges
frayed
tattered
because I let them
in
gave each of
them
the sharpest scissors
hoping for curled up edges
like
Christmas ribbon
instead
I am unraveled
like your
favorite sweater
I want you to be
angry…
I ruined your
hope
of perfection
just put me
in your keepsake
box
with all the other
possibilities
the could-have-beens
the almost maybes
but
you offer
me the most
beautiful golden
thread..
fix yourself, you say
but I can’t sew
and I feel
useless
once
again…
until
you take my hand
in yours
and teach
me
..
.
One stitch
at
A
Time
