Sweater Forever

Wearing white dress,

dressed in Sunday’s best,

trying hard to trick the one

you once tried to impress.

Back to friends

now and forever,

make amends,

change into a sweater.

A gray one—

white was too much.

Too bright and pure

to match your insecure love.

Your fingers hurt

from digging dirt—

a hole to place your feelings into.

A hole to show it only meant

you cannot bend

his heart to smile the same as yours.
