Where Did the Seamstress Go?

~ • ~ • ~

Where did the seamstress go?

Does her sewing machine even know?

Was she overly stressed,

by her working demands and needed her rest?

Did she start to cry,

when she realized the mirror wasn’t her ally?

What does that news paper headline say?

Did it make her feel shocked or dull and gray?

The pillows lay in stitches of laughter about something.

Could they be ready for their next fling?

On the table, the lovely bouquet,

likely has the most to say.

It says the seamstress was loved by someone kind,

some days this is the hardest thing to find.
