I open my cupboard
And my clothes fall out
like my feelings flow out in your presence.
In the huge heap at my feet,
I see your sweatshirt
hidden under the blues, greens, pinks and reds.
I almost instantly reach out
and put it on.
And I’m taken somewhere
where I’m accepted for who I am,
and given warmth and comfort.
It keeps the cold away and holds me together.
I don’t have to worry
about the extra few inches
around my waist or
If my hair or my nails are done.
The sweatshirt, I know will keep me loved..safe
despite my perceived flaws.
It will hold me
in its warm embrace
no matter what.
Oh how beautiful it is
to have a sweatshirt
that feels like a
lover
and a lover
that feels like a
sweatshirt.
