| 27 Reasons to Quit Smiling |
So things have changed,
my mind re-ordered...
Thoughts swapped
for the greater good.
if it exists.
different faces
different ways to be
and different things to think.
I have made myself a place,
and you are not in it...
mine alone,
to sit and cherish the memories
of when things were okay.
But now,
things are different-
and you are not a part of me...
you are not a part of anything
but my softer side-
the she who gives in,
the she who falls apart without you.
I have long since forgotten
everything
that meant anything at all
everything
but what we were.
and though
I would never want- or ever hope
that I could go back inside the photographs
and faded yesterdays
and live again
the places I have lived...
I still hold on to my dusty box
bent at the corners
and fading fast...
taking with it
everything but now.
