In a rush to get dressed I searched for my best

In a rush to get dressed, I searched for my best,

the shirt that held memories, the fabric was blessed.

But a button gave out, slipped right from its place,

like the time I felt love, then vanished without trace.


I fumbled with threads, fabric frayed at the edge,

thoughts of a date and a broken pledge.

It’s funny how life, like garments, can tear,

as I stand here alone, in the cool morning air.
