How do I repair carpeting that is pulling out at the seam area?

The carpet is in great shape, it is over 20 years old, except for the seam area of the carpet ( sorry I do not have any pictures to show, I have not mastered that yet ). I have been looking for any small carpet mat to match the color the carpet, and then to cut some pieces off to glue into this area. I am still looking for a match,
Any ideas?

It sounds like you need the carpet stretched. Older carpet stretches and relaxes in many places. Someone with a carpet stretcher can stretch the rug toward the frayed seam then glue it in place. Even if you have to pay someone, I don't think it would cost much. Be careful that you or anyone else trips on it.
I would find a carpet guy to pull the carpet and reglue the seam with the right glue tape and hot knife tool. If you can find one who will do it on the side, its not expensive at all.
