Altered Love

Love can be sew very good

 

Altered Love

 

 

Dressed in a jacket of tie dyed illusions

Measuring moments to spare

Dangling truth in the seams of confusion

Camouflaged, nothing to wear

 

Fastened by Velcro for heart strings are fraying

Sewn with a fingerless glove

Patterns on paper with words now displaying

Perfectly sizing my love

 

Trimming the edges of long distant mending

Pinning my heart to my sleeve

Finding the crease and I notice its bending

Crooked is straight I believe

 

Fabric now woven of promised affection

Altering hemlines anew

Polishing buttons which claim your reflection

Love it looks so good on you

Cute, bouncy, sweet...I like it a lot.
You are definitely a wordsmith, my friend.
Don't you ever put down that pen!!

[Jack...]

Yes ma'am, I wont. :) Thanks so much Carol

[Angel]

Carol????? So, who is "Carol"??
Hmph...and here I am always so sweet to him...and he calls me "Carol"...
"Carol", indeed.
I'll have you know, Sir, my name is Deborah.

I knew I'd get it out of you somehow. I am so sorry again, I don't know where my mind has been. I truly apologize. So let me get this straight, you're not Angi and you're not Carol, you are Deborah the Angel that is always so nice to me when I obviously do not deserve it?

[Angel]

LOL, No, you don't.
