The hoodie my aunt gave me when I was a child
When I wasn't as vile
It was made out of soft cotton
And it was smooth as silk
When feeling the garment it feels like a cuddly warm quilt
It seems to burn away my remaining guilt
The hoodie was the color of silver but it wasn't as shiny
To me the worth was more than any weight of gold
I'll cherish it till the day I'm grey and old
Just like the heart the hoodie became battered
It was my only sense of comfort when my heart was shattered
Warm like a hug but could never replace the feelings of arms around me
And it didn't give the same sense of security
But at least this is free
I don't have to go on my knees and plea
The hoodie that almost falls to my knees
That I can on with ease
The hoodie is my safe haven
It felt right to be hidden
Yet, I wish to be noticed
My beloved hoodie was ripping at its seams
The color is fading, but yet, it still gleams
It's been with me since I've been trying to accomplish my dreams
I can't help but feel the hoodie is all I need
It was there for me when no one else was
It was there when I felt lost
But the hoodie can't replace the feeling of love
But it eases the pain of rejection
And if it was human I bet we'll have a real connection
