Why a sweater?
That’s what I sit here and wonder.
It couldn’t be to shield her from the chill,
Because she can no longer feel it.
“It needs sleeves”
They say.
“Why sleeves?”
I ask.
“What are they covering up?”
Such an innocent question,
Spawns such a vile answer.
“To hide the scars.”
They say.
“To cover the incisions,
To disguise the horrible secrets underneath.”
Innocence shattered,
I know why the sweater.
