This cloak, cast off
Now that you have had all the good of it,
Once was yours –
Now is mine.

Perhaps its rents and patches
Have grown too clear to you.
Yet they were always plain to me,
And I thought it a thing worth having.

What foolishness this –
You want it no longer,
Yet it cannot comfort me.

Cloaks

Second hand clothes like second hand love can sometimes be disappointing.

~~

A metaphor can mean so many things

But second-hand clothes

Like second-hand love

Holds little appeal beyond crass functionality...

This affected me although I'm not entirely sure why. Absolutely love it.
