The Basket Weaver

An Emotional Poem

I learned how to weave a basket

To carry my shattered dreams

Its bottom deep and reinforced

And bursting at the seams

I learned how to weave a basket

To carry my broken smile

I emptied my happy endings

And filled it with denial

I learned how to weave a basket

To carry all of your lies

Though it's stained with liquid pain

That's flowing from my eyes

I learned how to weave a basket

To carry my memories in

They slip away a little each day

For the bottom's way too thin

I learned how to weave a basket

To carry my broken heart

But this basket isn't big enough

I've known it from the start
