The Unraveling Scarf
Dark alleys make me shiver
Quite cold to the marrow
At these thoughts I quiver
And shudder in the snow
All I have is a scarf
That is scraggly and black
Thin as paper, wispy as leaves
I found it in The Sack
The Sack is full of things that you desire
But they are truly things you despise
I needed love, I needed warmth
This scarf is all lies
I wrap it around my frostbitten body
Only making it more uncomfortable to bear
I just cannot let it go
My heart would freeze, I would not dare
So tightly it was wrapped
That I almost lose my breath
Once it started tearing
I began mourning for my death
All of a sudden, it ripped
And I fell into soft grass
I inhaled the savoring smells
Not of poisonous, choking gas
Then my eyes slowly opened
The sun burning seeped through my skin
I gasped at the beauty of truth
And smiled deep within
