Fabric and Needle

For days I thought, you deserve better than me.

But today, I realize, I deserve better than you

I'm glad we were not in it from the first place

I'm fabric and you're needle

The stitch you'd make in me

Wouldn't be a pleasant pattern

It's forged to make others happy

A union of convenience, what else can you expect?

But deep down,

Deeper than my reason, deeper than my logic

Lay my naive memories

That run warm everywhere

And in every ounce of it

Yearned for you to be the same man

You came in

To ruffle my every crystal opinion

Into muddy biased stories

You grew up, into someone else

A stranger, whom I had trouble finding

I lost you in a medley of your own

And all I had was a cluster of pictures, which I never should've owned

You remind me I'm rejected

I vow to never see you, until I'm someone else's.

This shall be my new salvage, my new mission- To find a better needle.

Cause I'm fabric and you're needle

The stitch you'd make in me,

For a moment I thought- Would be an art worth fighting for
