her sweater. | poem

when she hated the weather

she held onto her sweater

hoping to relive all those memories

it was hard at first

she tried not to be immersed

in the pain associated with her accessories.

when she remembered her lover

she tried not to hover

over the fact that they were gone

it was easier to push it away

than deal with it today

but it was difficult not to feel like a pawn.

if she gave healing some time

she wouldn’t act like it was a crime

to forgive yourself in moments like this

but it’s easier said than done

when your closed wounds are undone

and you’re once again far away from bliss.
