From this day on
I will never be the same.
Though I go from day to day,
I am forever changed.

To say good-bye,
just seems so pointless now.
After all, it's not as if
you could hear me anyhow.

One by one,
I'm taking your pictures down.
It's hard enough to heal
without your memory all around.

I know some day
I'll be able to hear that song
and remember how we danced.
Maybe I'll sing along.

But, as for now,
I'm packing that disc away.
I promise to not forget.
I will play it again some day.

This box is getting heavy
with all the memories.
There's your coffee mug, baseball cap
and your favorite wore out jeans.

Everything is packed away
that might make me think of you,
except the bed that we shared
and this heart that's broke in two.

I guess it was pretty silly of me
to think this would really work.
For all the things I've packed away
I could not pack the hurt.

So, first thing tomorrow morning,
I'll unpack everything, my dear.
And, day to day, I'll learn to live
with all your memories here.

Hugs to you and your decision. A very trying task of renewal...and a most wonderful step and verse. Glad to see someone close to home. Tennessee!

Yes it is a process and the strength to face whatever feelings come helps us to get through the hard times.

This is very painful yet well written.
Thanks for sharing!
