Witness #1 Red Thread

You fought so hard to hang on

Make it work, make it right

I saw you there, just outside

Raised voices and hard hands

Tears threatening-

Deaf ears-

No one understands-

Why don’t you listen?

And while you were desperately

Hanging on to the wrong one…

I saw the lines of fate

Like they were drawn on a map

Your instersection

The one, your one

Walked inside and stood in line

His end, you had dropped yours.

He was your match, no mistake

The glow, the vibe..

And there you were outside

Thinking you knew better than fate.
