I Am a Trench Coat
I am a trench coat
only worn by those seeking
a femme fatale
answers to questions
a Casablanca kiss
mysterious intentions
I am all of this and more
for wearers of trench coats
a refuge from rain
fitted at the wrists
a woolen warmth
with covered slits
I am a trench coat
whose fabric is wearing thin
a lipstick stain
on my wrinkled lapel
a chaos of Khaki
Burberry bombshell
I am all of this and more
for trench coats are timelessly worn
a battered double-breast
pocket filled with lust
an eyelet for any eye
too easy for blind trust
I am a trench coat
in a heap upon his floor.
Didn't anyone tell you,
all is fair in love and war?
Edit: Sorry about the formatting, only an issue on reddit. I wasn't trying to create emphasis with code, just with the indented line spacing.
Edit: Updated version, adjustments made according to feedback.
