they borrow your white knitted sweater without asking
claim its theirs
hand it back eventually
now with blue stains
that won't come off
call you up
while out with their dog
ask what you're up to
cut you off halfway through your reply
turnes out they only wanted to know if you were available
to watch the dog
mention you gained weight
when in your bikini
(no, you did not ask)
but
when you lay in your sofa
contemplating that
hideous feeling below your chest
you receive a text
asking if you are being kind to
yourself
as you should
tell your mum
when you're not around
how they appreciat how you always cared about people
and that they knew
you were gonna make it
and when you're home
they make you laugh
so hard
you accidentally
*** a little
sure
it annoys you
when you wash the sweater again
that the stains still won't come off
but
it doesn't really matter
does it
you were kind of tired of that shirt anyway
