No Strings Attached

by Walter   Oct 7, 2020


Once you were my blanket and our love would keep us warm
When we were so connected with our weave that we would form
You were always close by me surrounded by this cover
And became my best friend, a soulmate and my lover

I always held you close to me wherever we would go
Shining bright and happy with the colours that we'd show
I would wear you proudly and our colours never grey
All our friends envious with the love that we'd display

But one day came where we seemed to have our doubts
The weather was so terrible not a day for going out
We neither could agree but still we both would leave
I became too confident and unable to perceive

Walking down the beach where I would hold you tight
The winds were determined to blow you out of sight
But there's no way I'd let go and held you close to me
Adamant, that our love would never be set free

Although the winds devious as you they would surround
But my grip too tightly every time they came around
I was too confident that I would not let you go
To see you snagged on the rocks I didn't even know

The weather getting worse and deciding to leave
Totally oblivious that our blanket would unweave
Even though I was holding on a single thread so tight
By the time I had realized our blanket not in sight

Retracing the single thread with worry on my mind
But no matter how much I'd follow, you I'd never find
Our love became unwound and now was at a loss
As with this single thread our paths would never cross

Now my heart is torn because our love is dead
I no longer have our blanket but just a single thread
No matter how hard I try on my own can't weave it back
As our threads will never join when love is what they lack
