Once Upon An Unravelled Thread

Once upon an unravelled thread
I travelled to the very end
To live the story that you said
And make true what was once pretend

Looking for the happy ending
Once upon an unravelled thread
Fixing flaws that needed mending
Beyond closed eyes safely in bed

A hedge rowed path just lightly tread
To knots that held my breath suspend
Once upon an unravelled thread
I lived a life I could defend

Inch by inch as I descended
Through years that lay in wait ahead
Apprehensions apprehended
Once upon an unravelled thread
