Torn And Faded Tapestry Poem by Haley Revell

Torn And Faded Tapestry



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
