Shadow Poet

Poetry, Writing, Musing

Sealing Up The Past

You gathered our memories

putting them in a box

Hundreds of pictures

encapsulating our journey

Then you packed your things

and took the next flight out

Across the country to L.A.

to begin your new life

A journey without me

You ditched the pictures

in a dumpster behind a

Minimart in Arcadia

On West Duarte Road

Slammed the lid closed

Drove away and never

Glanced back, not once
