Ode To My Scarf

O scarf-
Where have you gone?
It has been so cold without you
That I very well may turn blue.

Have you run away?
Or simply been misplaced?
I am searching everywhere
But I cannot seem to find you.

Perhaps I tied you too tightly
Around my neck the last time
I wore you.
I promise it only meant I
Wanted you closer.

Perhaps you feel like you've been
Replaced
By my new turtleneck sweater.
But it cannot wrap itself around me
Like you can.
(And I swear it's not nearly as comfy.
Or warm.)

Perhaps I hung you up
And you fell to the floor
When I walked away.
I cannot help it if my cat wants
To snuggle with you too.

O Scarf-
I wish you would let me find you soon
I do not want to forget what you look like
And I hope you still feel the same
When I finally figure out
Where I left you last time.

(I won't ever let go again.)
