My Old Coat

I took out my old coat today

I haven’t worn it, it's been put away

But today, I broke

I pulled out my coat

Just around the house, I’d say

I won’t wear it outside or during the day

Just for a moment, I’ll let it encase me

Waste me

But I drift away in it

I hide my face in it

I begin to suffocate in it

But it feels like silk on my skin

I don’t want to break it
