Haiku about closure
It was easier
Than I think it should have been
Handing you your things
Our History
Summed up in a yellow bag
T-shirts, shoes and books.
Those things held on to
Nothing is ever ours
Fashions change yearly
Books lay silently
Pages filled with pressed flowers
From first dates, kisses
But where is the man
Who knew better than to love
That which is fleeting?
An observation;
Everything comes apart
Again and again
Its constant repair
Pushing the boulder up hill;
God can move mountains
But we are only ants
Trying to do the right thing
One stone at a time
And I don’t blame you;
collecting your artifacts
and closing the door
and though its subjective
I can read you like a book
From first dates, kisses
And there in your head
Is the quality I miss
A beautiful mind
Bittersweet at best
Simpler than it should have been
Forgive and repair
Than I think it should have been
Handing you your things
Our History
Summed up in a yellow bag
T-shirts, shoes and books.
Those things held on to
Nothing is ever ours
Fashions change yearly
Books lay silently
Pages filled with pressed flowers
From first dates, kisses
But where is the man
Who knew better than to love
That which is fleeting?
An observation;
Everything comes apart
Again and again
Its constant repair
Pushing the boulder up hill;
God can move mountains
But we are only ants
Trying to do the right thing
One stone at a time
And I don’t blame you;
collecting your artifacts
and closing the door
and though its subjective
I can read you like a book
From first dates, kisses
And there in your head
Is the quality I miss
A beautiful mind
Bittersweet at best
Simpler than it should have been
Forgive and repair
