A Tapestry Undone
    By Parminder Singh

In years we built a dreamy castle, so strong and true,

With time and trust, we wove a tender thread.

Each whispered word, each glance, each shared adieu,

A tapestry of dreams where hearts had bled.

Through seasons bright and shadows dark, we grew,

Two hearts as one, a single, steady flame.

Yet hidden thoughts within your heart you knew,

A silent storm, a shifting, secret blame.

With swift and sudden force, you turned away,

A moment's choice to shun what took so long.

No hint of doubt, no sign to guide my stay,

No word to tell where love had gone so wrong.

Now lost, I wander through this endless night,

Our years undone by shadows in your sight.
