In a Single Thread of Gold
(Inspired by Invisible String by Taylor Swift)
The color of the grass was green
Where she used to be seen
Reading as she sat at Centennial Park
Painting her light through the dark
The color of his shirt was teal
And it's just right to be real
As the first work he had been
At a yogurt shop at sixteen
In this time curious time
No signs of this perfect crime
Neither compasses nor clues
And it's cool out of the blues
Where there clues she didn't see?
Thinking how isn't it so pretty?
All along there's a single thread of gold
Tying him to her to a love that never grows old
Bad was the blood of the song
On his first trip, it wasn't wrong
To think he was fated meeting her
As much as the thought of a love forever
Bold was the waitress
On their three year trip, it was flawless
To think the lady thought of her
Looking like an American singer
Time mystical time
A way to this perfect rhyme
Cutting her open, healing her fine
Finding herself falling out of line
Were there clues she didn't see -
To the place she was always meant be?
Isn't it cool to just think–
With him, she saw her future in a blink
In a single thread of gold that pulled her
Out of all the wrong arms, meeting her forever
Right into that dive bar on that fateful moment
Wrapping her past mistakes, filled in enchantment
Chains around her demons
And wool to brave her seasons
In one single thread of gold
She had him to have and hold
Cold was always her axe of steel
To grind for the heartbreak she used to feel
For the boys who gave her heartbreaking moments
Now she's the one sending their babies presents
The leaves were in the color of gold
With all the tales she had him told
As she showed him around Centennial Park
And right there she knew they never lost the spark
The journey indeed was hell
More than she can ever tell
But it brought her heaven
As his arms became her haven
Time wondrous time
Her heart never sublime
Gave her blues and purple-pink skies
In those smiles and magnetic eyes
Isn't it just pretty to think
Just as she was on the brink
She met someone to have and hold
That tied to her in a single thread of gold
