I wore it today
As an act of rebellion
Against her
Against myself
Against the memories
That won’t leave me alone
It seems strange I’m sure
But there’s just so much
Tied up in this dumb shirt
A fluorescent stab
Right to the heart
Of everything that’s dragged me down
For forever now
The bright green glow
Cutting through the darkness
That she left behind
The fog I’ve let myself live under
In this piece of clothing
I find some fleeting solace
Respite from the torture
She set off in me
A suit of armor
Around my broken heart
So that I may find a way
To free myself from chains
I wrapped around myself
In her absence
