Sulking in sewing room
The feeling unfinished
Patterns unguided
Floral bolts unscrewed
Things I wish I had found a way to say
Times I was too proud to admit
I didn't know what to say
When you loved me
When I did confess
Not knowing what
to do
Maybe I should have
just listened
Let you stitch
the satin
to flannel
Author notes
Separation by W.S. Merwin
Your absence has gone through me
like a thread through a needle.
Everything I do is stitched with its color.

They say opposites attract and I love your 'satin and flannel', actually the whole poem is good, very good.

Wether she is bitching or talking passionately from different perspective is up to me to choose. I did say listen...
And yes, I am an angel
Just like you -
