My Shoe Box

Today I gave you up,
Put you far away.
Because I don't want this endless pain to stay.
I gathered up everything I had
That reminded me of you.
There is so much
But I can only fit a few.
I can't put the feeling of your gentle touch
Because it's no longer there.
I can't put your beautiful, dangerous eyes
Because lately it's been disguised.
Your sweet voice, from your cherry lips
That I also cannot put.
For it has vanished into spit.
I cannot put the words you said
Because now they are dead.
But I will still put every moment that can fit
Even though altogether it's just a bit.
I put your red and white cap
That once belonged to you.
I put the pictures I have of you,
I put the pictures of me and you.
I put the skirt you loved to see me wear,
I miss how much you used to care.
I put the letter I wrote for you
That still remains unread.
I never got a chance to give it to you,
Now you'll never know how much I love you.
I stored our life memories in a shoe box,
So they could fade away.
But this shoe box represents my heart
Where forever you will stay.
