New Jacket

You had my jacket. 

You had a part of me that I was okay with leaving behind. 
I felt so cold without it, 
my jacket
I contacted you 
"I want my jacket back, I don't want to see you, please give it back" 
"You will have it back Saturday." 
I was home Saturday. 
You showed up at night soon after I fell asleep. It was folded neatly, but not with care. 
At the top of my front porch steps. 
You didn't want to step onto the porch where I bit the hand that beat me. 
I remember seeing how hard you flinched. I felt nothing on impact but it made a sound that will forever echo in my mind. 
My jacket was stained with the smoke you breathe. 
I hated the smell but I couldn't stop myself. 
Before washing it I smelt it and cried. 
"This would have worked if you made the right decision" 
It would have. 
You would have never made the right decision.
