Closure

There is something heavy placed on my heart
I have tried to let it go, but have never known where to start...

so many years later your memories still haunt me
asking me their due, to do what you want me

so here I am packing up where you left
and pushing those bits further in to the depths

it is difficult to clear up after a storm passes
this hasn't been easy, not with the shards of glasses

the lanes, the tables, even the air reminds of you
of what you said you can and what you wouldn't do

the things you touched and the papers you arranged
the boxes you filled - Nothing much has changed

the trouble is,.. clearing it is as much pain as keeping it
and ignoring it is as much pain as seeing it


Then why keep it for so long? I hope I wasn't hoping that you'll come back
But you know how crazy I am.... I am crazy enough to do just that

Hence this is a closure of sorts to shut down the windows to the past
dealing with the memories and the shadows they cast....

So once and for all, I am throwing it all out
out goes the blood and tears go out

For one final time I'll face it, and then off from this shore
Something new hopefully will start with the old being no more.
