I Am a Trench Coat

Feedback Received!

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.
