Ugly Sweater

Layla James

1 min read

It's impossibly ugly this sweater, but I wear it each week, no matter the weather

Its fraying strands and moth-eaten holes are a story of when we were together

This one was running to catch that train

This dark stain on the chest

was once the place where your head would rest

Now you're gone but the story remains

in the sweater I wear, even when it rains...
