Flare

There is a flare in my new sweater  
I bought it for you, but kept it for me  
You left before I could give it to you  


The fabric doesn't like to admit its faulty strength  
To hold together two arm lengths of wool is a big job  
I suppose its buttons are tired as well  


I hate the flare in your sweater  
You only wear it because I gave it to you  
Because you loved me that much
