Sweet Serenity

Warmth shoots through my body as I
slide it over my head.
His distinct smell has woven itself
within the the threads.
I let out a content sigh as I
take it all in.
As much as I love wearing his hoodie,
I hate it.
All it does is remind me of him and sadness
begins to take over me.
I frantically start to take the hoodie off but, soon
I come to my senses.
Wait,
stop.
Take a breath and calm down.
You’re fine.
Nothing is hurting you.
But, that’s a lie.
Not being with him is doing nothing but, making
me hurt.
I start to think of all the good times we have
together and I can feel myself
breath again.
My body slowly starts to be swallowed
by the fabric and I let
out a sigh.
I just miss him,
that’s all.
No need to panic.
Or is there?
I shake my head as I lean back in
the chair next to him.
And as he looks over at me, I smile and let out
a laugh at me being so foolish.
He was with me all along.


The author's comments:

I originally wrote this as an ode for my creative writing class but, slowly added more and more to it. My boyfriend's sweatshirt inspired me to write this. To me the sweatshirt is a piece of him that I have around me at all times and when I miss him, I get upset. However, even when I'm without him, I'm always with him. 

 

I dedicate this poem to my love.
