The fibers of you and me

The last thing you ever bought me Was a beige and fuzzy vest     I put it in the dryer And it turned into a matted mess

I spent hours and hours 

Combing out the tousled furr

Hoping I could mend what was burnt and tangled

But that’s exactly what we were


I cried and cried and I didn’t know why

This immaterial vest was no longer new

And it would never look the same

As the day I received it from you
