You are the sweater

that gets me through the day.

Keeps the warmth in,

and locks the cold away.

 

You are the only thing

that reminds me of home.

Protects me from this harsh world

and holds me when i am alone.

 

But you see, this sweater

sometimes gives me an itch.

But I’ve been with it for what seems like a lifetime

so it is the last thing i will ever ditch.
