Capes of Fabric

Our pasts
are like the
soft blankets
bought by well
intentioned mothers.

They never
quite last
the way
they were
meant to.

Sometimes,
they were the
product of
obviously false
advertising.

They become
threadbare
from constant
use and
reminiscing.

If only we
pulled them
apart in our hands,
we'd see the residue
left after the mess.
