Cashmere

I feel so heavy but I’ve lost ten pounds 

My pants fit again but my love’s not around 

I’m freezing in jackets that once kept me warm 

My heart is sick and I am forlorn

Wool and cashmere 

My new best friends 

I cry every morning 

But have no split ends 

Foolish am I walkin’ round with a smile 

My scarf manifests all my denial
