just like the box full of dates you left on my counter
i too stay untouched and abandoned.
see you had this way of installing things in my life
just like you carefully laid out each card and trinket in that box.
memories of happy days where your love was bigger than your lies.
memories of a time when you stole pieces of me that couldnt ever dream of letting go of.
i thought i wouldn't ever move from your system
until i found that you wanted me gone so i left
but now i find myself stuck with yet another form of you in a different variation.
