Cardboard

50 10 2
                                    

The boxes
Full of worn clothes
And year old trophies
They aren't even my friend
Seeing as they were unwillingly
Forced into this bleak cage
Cuts line my palms
From all the tape
And the scissors against my hand
They burn at the touch
Of the dusty container
Full of a life
No longer belonging here
They wait near the door
Waiting for another adventure
But one no one
Would enjoy
My feet shuffle
Around the now vacant rooms
Silence hangs heavy
In the air
I do not wish
To say goodbye
But I've no choice
Just like the contents of the boxes
Lining the doorway
I was forced into this
Forced into a world I do not want
But time is my enemy
As always
My time is up
The hourglass holds sand
Only at its bottom
I must finally retreat
So as the handle
Feels cold under my palm
I close the door behind me
Reluctantly leaving
Every aspect of my
Much loved past
Far behind me
I journey to the truck
With the only thing I have left
Cardboard
