All Those Loose Ends

With this tear I remember you,
betwixt the moon and morning's dew.

Old photographs taken have cracked and faded,
my roses have crumbled inside the book's pages.

A gift you gave me is wrapped but broken,
In pieces my heart still holds these tokens.

By a thread old love is sewn into me,
Binding my heart with memories.

I often tug at its loose ends,
I'm sewing my heart and hoping it mends.
