Unraveling

I once loved a tailor who took eager care of me

Sewed together my loose ends with stitches neat and clean

But now my love is gone

And I am left unraveling

Unraveling

I once loved a gardener with his dirt-smudged face and hands

Trimmed my weeds and gave me room to grow my flowers again

But now my love is gone

And I am left here withering

Withering

I once loved a carpenter who carved a smile for me

Sanded my rough edges, crafted new and lovely things

But now my love is gone

And I can’t help the fracturing

I never knew that I needed you

I once loved a man who kissed me once before he left

Tied me up in knots and said he’d soon return again

But now my love is gone

And I am left unraveling

Unraveling
