My Dear Old Shirt
My dear poor old rust stained torn shirt
Two-year-old white faded darling
I hardly loved you, my mere chance
I can't let you lose, you're my prove
Of how much and how less I was
You warmed me when I was alone
We've seen the moon and all the stars
You might tell me their exact count
We've played with rain and tears whole year
Maybe you can sense the rain cloud
We've waited the train, text and love
You can tell me how I look when
I was happy, sad or ignored
You've heard the jokes and giggles
You've known where I hid to dry sad
Dear skin, closest love, don't tell them
How I break down, they'll contempt me
And make me unworthy of you
You- who've waited without anger
The pretending baffling of Smile
You have the dare to show all stain
Facing the heaven and sunlight
You, me, were tricked because of me
I'm sorry for that, I really am
Let's keep this a secret, shall we
I'll hang you tidy, wash less too
But remember to keep my shame
They'll make you unworthy, won't they
My dear poor old rust stained torn shirt
Do me this favor, be my friend.
