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.
