The tailored heart

Tailored heart

The heart is a tailor, stitching and weaving

Threads of love, hope, and dreams achieving

With every beat, it measures and cuts

Creating a garment of our deepest thoughts

The fabric of our hearts, a unique blend

Of joy, pain, and all that we've been

Each stitch a memory, each seam a scar

A tapestry of life, woven thus far

As we journey through life's winding roads

Our hearts mend and tear, bearing heavy loads

But the tailor within, with skillful art

Sews together the pieces of our broken heart

And as we grow, our hearts take shape

The patterns we choose, the risks we take

For the tailor within, the heart is a canvas

A masterpiece, unique and matchless

So let us honor the tailor within

For the heart is the source of all that we've been

A reflection of the love we've shared

A tailored heart, beautifully prepared.

The heart, a piece of cloth,

Cut to fit a specific shape.

Tailored to match its wearer,

Stitched with care and grace.

The needle weaves its thread,

Through the fabric of our lives.

Creating patterns of love and loss,

Emotions that we cannot disguise.

Each heart a unique design,

A masterpiece to behold.

Woven from the threads of experience,

Creating a story yet to be told.

But sometimes the seams start to fray,

And the fabric begins to tear.

The heart becomes too heavy to bear,

And the stitching becomes a nightmare.

So we take our hearts to the tailor,

To mend and repair the pain.

To restitch the fabric of our lives,

And make it whole once again.

The tailored heart is a work of art,

A symbol of love and care.

A reminder that we're never alone,

And that our hearts are always there.

So let the needle weave its magic,

And let the thread of love bind.

For the tailored heart is a masterpiece,

That will stand the test of time.

Tailored my heart, you did with ease,

Crafted it perfectly to fit your needs.

Stitched it with love, sewn with care,

Molded it to be the perfect pair.

The fabric of my heart, soft and true,

Was a canvas for you to imbue,

With colors of passion, hues of joy,

And the warmth of love that you employ.

You took my heart and made it whole,

Filled the cracks, and mended the holes.

The threads of trust, sewn through and through,

Created a bond that was unbreakable and true.

But as time went by, the fabric grew thin,

And the stitches began to wear and spin.

The tailored heart, once so finely made,

Began to fray, and slowly began to fade.

Yet still, you held it close to your chest,

With every beat, it was put to the test.

You loved it still, despite its wear,

And held it together with tender care.

So thank you, for the tailored heart you've made,

For the love and care, and the memories we've laid.

Though the fabric may be worn and frayed,

The love we share will never fade.

Tailored my beautiful heart,

With precision and artful craft.

You sewed in love, care, and kindness,

A masterpiece that will forever last.

The fabric you used was soft and true,

Of vibrant colors, bright and new.

Each stitch was placed with delicate ease,

As you crafted a heart that was meant to please.

The beauty of my heart, you amplified,

With each seam, you brought out its shine.

The tailored heart that you made for me,

Is a work of art, for all to see.

With every beat, it sings of love,

A melody sweet, like a dove.

The threads of trust, sewn in so well,

Are the foundations on which it dwells.

Thank you for the tailored heart,

That you fashioned with such great art.

It beats with love, so true and pure,

A masterpiece, forevermore.
