Sometymes an item of clothing can hold more memories than you thought...

~*~ His Ol' Flannel ~*~

She took a look around her room,
And she let out a disappointed sigh.
When she spotted his ol' flannel,
All she wanted to do was die.

Inside the pocket, a letter was found,
She knew exactly who it was from.
Tears began streaming down her cheeks,
And she called out for her mom.

She took one last look at the paper,
Before she tore it into pieces.
She has moved on from him,
And feeling another’s kisses.

She’s said goodbye to him,
Justin’s now a mere memory . . .

I hope that everything works out. I know what you mean about clothing bringing back memories. This was a wonderful and emotional write. Cant wait till your next.

I need more time to find the real me...
to fly like the birds... to be set free.

Nice poem Tamma. I thought you did well, and yes a piece or an item of some sort can mean a lot to a person. You've express this well.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I really enjoyed this one... I liked the way the end was optimistic. Don't dwell on the past.. I like that message. Nicely done! I'm glad you moved on. He seems like he wasn't worth the waste of energy.

This was a very emotional poem and I enjoyed it. I relate to it well, as with your other poem which I have just read "Daddy, tell me" I am really enjoying your work and admiring it!! Keep it up!
