Taking up Space
Sometimes, no matter how hard you try to hold on, there isn't space for everyone to stay in your life.
What do I do with your Christmas gifts?
How do I wear our matching clothes?
What do I do with the flowers you painted me
the leftover purple hair dye from our last sleepover
the secrets we shared
the tiara you borrowed for our senior prom
the places we were going to go together
the nights up talking until 3:36 AM
the hidden pain you always knew how to soothe
the half-heart key chains, custom made just for us...
What do I do with our pictures?
I threw all the frames in a drawer,
hoping to pull them out once it all got better.
When will it get better?
Please, I need it to get better...
I don't think it's ever getting better.
