Reminders

So many memories and faces
connected to things-
mostly words,
some songs,
so many objects.

I keep physical things,
to look at
to remember.

But not anymore-
I finally realized
it was the
past
tearing me apart,
feeding pieces of my heart
to the darkness.

Great poem, one everyone can relate to. I love the way you laid out your thoughts, it was a great read!

if you have realized, and successfully rid yourself of torment...others have not but can relate

yes, i understand. i used to hold onto everything, whether it was a gift i never used, or even something simple like a birthday card from my dentist, or plastic bags i might need to use in the future. then one day i threw everything away, no matter how practicle or unneccessary. like a basket of bag apples, they all felt contaminated by one another, and needed simply to go all at once.
