Button

By In Poetry

bed sheets

Cute little halo
You and your friends keep my clothes on
I see you there dangling
With a sideways smile on your face
One of these days you are going to try and get away
You’ll be there at night
But the next morning you’ll be gone
I’ll look through the sheets and curse to myself
I’ll pretend it doesn’t matter
But people will look closely at me and see
That I’m missing my button
