Somebody lent me a shirt
It was their favourite thing
They trusted me with their heart
Such value it seemed to bring
The t-shirt is tired and worn
I choose my old shirts instead
I carry a feeling of scorn
For the trust that hangs by a thread
The shirt is stained through my care
My choices created a hole
I see the damage laid bare
There is no value in me at all

Trust violated in this wonderful poem of great lines and symbolism. The shirt a great metaphor known well by the saying that he gave me the shirt off his back. Very nicely done a fave
