Is it wrong to keep objects from an ended relationship?
I've wondered that a few times.
You'd said you'd help me burn
The objects of my previous one,
But that never happened.
And I haven't burned yours.
They're memories, aren't they?
And as hard as they, hurt I don't think they deserve being forgotten.
I still have everything you gave me, or we made together, in my room.
I wondered once if you still had mine.
Or perhaps you smashed the jar with the rose and messages,
Or ripped the painting of our handprints,
Or chucked our jewelry in the trash.
I don't think I'll ever know,
But if I did I wouldn't judge.
Some people find comfort in destroying the past.
I keep it close in the hopes of remembering.
In the hopes of not repeating
The same old mistakes.
But that doesn't seem to be working.
