Ties

My first tie was my father's, who got it from his dad

I wore it for one evening, until it made mum sad

xXx

My second tie was mother's, a gift from a good friend

I wore it at her funeral, and never did again

xXx

Finnick's tie was kinda weird, it used to be a choker

I lost it to a zebra in a high stakes game of poker

xXx

The tie from Big still has dark stains no matter how I washed it

I keep it safe, despite the wear, for fear he'd know I lost it

xXx

My current tie, my partner bought, it made her think of me

I wear it proudly, every day, where everyone can see
