Another hole in my tapestry
Another life wiped away
The sky opens crying tears
Colors of my tapestry fade
Lightning flashes, Conjuring memories
Faces I’ll never see again
Images in my mind
Love only waltzes with the dead
Decades slip away
Another moment lost that can’t be replaced
I will never have that chance again
Thought I had time, thought I could wait
Now faced with bleak reality
In dark rooms I am alone
Torn and faded tapestry
Hangs around me, I feel so cold
No bright colors on perfect cloth
No warmth coming from my saving grace
Left now as I sleep
All I see is a dead face
Eyes reflect things I see
A sad and lonely expression
So many things lost to me
Can’t face my own reflection
So many times I offered my hand
Help me make my tapestry whole again
It was all I had wanted
For you to remain a friend
Torn and faded tapestry
Hangs from walls that lock me in
I look in your eyes
Where did it end and where did it begin
