Your Old Flannel Shirt
your so warm against my body
i need to feel you wrapped around me on those cold night
when
nothing
is going right
and the world is lonely
for me
and full of strangers
who
use me
or
intrude on my life.
when you're around me the world just
m
e
l
ts away
and i sleep
knowing that you are there to comfort me
i can hold you
all
night and know that i am SAFE
from the evils lurking about.
you're always there
letting me be whatever i need to be
all those times when my tears
covered you
when
my mind was confused
and
my heart was broken
you were always there
without question
to keep me
warm and safe.
MAYBE
when time has past
a year or two from now
and you
are
old
and
worn
with nothing left of your being
but perhaps
a button
i will be ok
and the world
won't seem
such a hard place to
live
anymore!
