In the recesses of your mind I would like to be.

Just for you to understand me.

Must i compose a thousand words together?
Why?
They'd become trite and old adn begin to weather.

I feel like a filthy piece of garbage you've discarded from your soul.

I was once the part that made you whole.

In my many moments of pain; I realize there is something to gain.

I sift through the ashes of this old empty trunk.

At some point I must realize God doesn't make junk.

I enjoyed reading this...we feel rejected...and then at some point we begin to rebuild our self esteem and realize we were rejected only because we were with the wrong person...and we are still the right person...the person we should be...James

Ashley,
I could feel your pain while reading this poem you wrote. It's very heavy and very touching. Especially this line:

"At some point I must realize God doesn't make junk".

Yes Ashley, God doesn't make junk, never did, never will. And you are a very special person to be able to write so emotionally like this. Take care.
