The Sewn Sorrow
So Day2 I don't even know if I have readers. It's really hard deciding what to go up. I especially don't want to throw my best punches with no one in the ring. Todays poem is the second one I wrote. It's still a favourite of mine. As you'll no doubt guess it's about a girl. Hope you like:
The Sewn Sorrow
I am the sewn sorrow.
I hang my head;
What will you say tomorrow,
or will it be today instead?
My heart hangs in th balance,
A gift for you I've said.
Your heart hangs in the balance,
Protected by the negative thread.
Lay your heart on the silver weave,
Take a chance on me.
On their own things will grow,
and then the golden weave will show.
Am I the worthy sewn one,
To make the negative thread undone?
Can I stand above the rest,
Sew your heart into my chest?
Or will I be left alone?
Cold, tasteless, empty, un-sewn.
If your heart says no,
Then deal to me the crushing blow.
But if your heart tells you yes,
Then tell me quick so I may know.
If you never try the silver weave,
How can your heart ever believe,
That there is such a thing as love,
On this earth,
Or in the heavens above?
All you will have is simple fears,
And brought this sewn sorrow to tears.
I whisper to you the fragile cotton,
Hoping this message is not forgotton.
