Like your favourite worn out jumper,
You were me still,
Keeping me close.
Sleaves filled with holes that are placed
Into constellation of memories.
Coffee Stains from early morning
Painted upon breaking sleaves
Hood strings that have frayed
Transformed into locks of cotton hair.
Yet your caring intentions
cradle me into a void of tranquillity.
