Your Tights

Roll them down around your fingers Roll them up against your legs Become trapped inside another Hidden by a different layer On a sunny day when the world is in view Your stiffled from inside On a cold day where rain lashes outside They comfort and warm all around They stay with you throughout time Until that fatal day Walking against something thats harsh And they snag ever so slightly At first, you may not notice it And thats when it continues to grow Its ruining the perfection A ladder between you now Or its possible you did notice And you cried out in anguish Tried frantically to mend it But it is too late Test them and see how long you can last With that increasing snag Just the one flaw Which becomes greater and greater by the day And if you ignore it, you'll stumble once more And another snag shall appear Ladders after ladders Destorying again and again You can take them off Keep them at a distance Increasing the gap between It wont last Instead you have to throw it away It may be in saddness, knowing theres no other choice Or with selfish glee knowing there are more around Some things which are broken just wont mend.
