I took you home
You became a part of me
Sometimes I would neglect you, leave you crumpled and tear stained
Alone in a ball in the corner
But I couldn't stay away from you.
So soft under my fingers, just you and me under the duvet
Or you waiting to claim me fresh from the shower, feeling you wrap tight around my waist
So many times i have disdained you
Considered trading you in
Sniffing out something better, something that would reflect more the woman i aspire to be
But it's always you
Only you
The one who takes my needling cat without complaint
First time I saw you, was at the hotel
So pale in the streetlight that flooded through the window, I was afraid I would mark you
And I did
So many times I sullied you but you came back brighter than ever
One night I leave you.
I brush my hair, I slip into my black silk nightdress, convinced I can do better
I leave the bedroom. And I hesitate.
I turn my head
A vision of you across the room, hanging sadly like a ghost
Your warmth will haunt me. But i am better than you

What am I?
