My Luckiest Blue Sweater

February 28th, 2009 | Category: Poem

Left behind and left for dead
Her words poured wicked through my head
I had it all and I have nothing
She couldn’t hold what was just rushing
Maybe if I was smarter
Maybe if I was better
Maybe if I had worn my luckiest blue sweater

I had a hold and let it go
It’s all my fault and yes, I know

The last time I saw her she was standing in the dark
She was like estate and I was barely trailer park
She asked me what I wanted
And all I could do was pass
She was in my arms and I couldn’t make it last
Maybe if I was smarter
Maybe if I was better
Maybe if I had worn my luckiest blue sweater

I had a hold and let it go
It’s all my fault and yes, I know

Beyond her class but she still asks
Why do you stare so hard?
It’s all I know, can’t let you go
By peering deep I get to keep
Maybe if I was smarter
Maybe if I was better
Maybe if I had worn my luckiest blue sweater

I had a hold and let it go
It’s all my fault and yes, I know
