Every stitch
Held your name
Intertwined
Deeply
One by one
Her patience
Wore thin
A time or two
But she kept along
Gracefully
Weaving deeply
In and out
Careful not to leave
Any loose ends
Her flesh
A map
Your hands
Once traced
Your fingerprints
Eloquently etched in
Her mind
Oh her mind
Webbed deeply
With your lies
It's rather unsettling
The trance
She's bound within
If only you could
See her
As she pulls the
Needle up
To knot it off
Bloody thread
Spattered wall
A haunting smile
Ear to ear
Dimples for days
Upon her face
She whispers
Your name
As she plunges
The needle back in
Without a flinch
At all
