Sadness and the Thrift Store Jacket

There was once this man
who had purchased a brand new jacket.
It was meant to relieve a sorrow he was feeling
and he felt much better for purchasing it.

His life, however
went down-hill from there.
All of the joy, romance, mystery, and magic
fled from his life, and he became very empty.

He soon later died a hollow man;
and all of his belongings ended up at the thrift store
including the jacket,
and it's curse.

The next owner of the jacket
put it on, and felt sorrow right away.
He lost a close loved one to the curse of death
and after taking his own life, the jacket moved on.

Once again, at the thrift store,
the jacket was bought by a poor woman
for her husband,
to ward off the cold while he was at work.

However, the husband possessed a keen insight,
and he did sense the sadness that this jacket could bring.
So, all that he said when presented with this gift was,
"Whatever you do my darling, don't hang that jacket on me."
