Cleaning out the Closet

~Note~ This poem is in response to me cleaning out my email account folders...

She sits by the tall closet
Filled to the brim with old things
Slowly opening the door,
Reaching in grabs a box

And begins her trip down memory lane
Reading through old letters
Sometimes crying, sometimes laughing
Feeling put through an emotional wringer

At the end she feels better
-somehow-
For by cleaning the closet
She has driven out some bad memories
And threw all the others away


Time flies? Say it not so, time stays we go.

Yanno, Cuddlez - I have been hoping you would come out of the closet.  It must have taken a lot of courage to do this...what??? you were only CLEANING the closet??? OMG -  heh heh

Incidently - I really like this poem.  I especially like the parts about reading old letters and crying and laughing.  I guess I'm just sentimental, but that really struck a chord in me.  Great writing.

Cuddlez a memory lane you're glad is cleaned out. You've written well of it!

Laughing and crying, and finally feeling free after sorting through it all. What a relief.
