Unthreaded

The lies you told, unfolded
like dirty linen. The fairytale
that was once created unraveled
like an untied ribbon.

Tears emerged and pain rose.
Silence confronted me, and
emptiness has taken up
residency.

Laughter departed like yesterday
news, in complete solitude my
heart echoes untune blues.

I was just a fabric in need of
needlework. You were just a mascot
good at concealing who you really
were.

The lies have unfolded, the fairytale
has ended. Now the blanket I once
was is left without its fringes. There's
nothing keeping me together, there's
nothing but thread...
