All Gone? Finally Gone. Poem by Allysyn Bryant

Found that old Box. In the bottom of my closet.
Had some old things of ours.
Pictures of my birthday, of Us together.
An old movie stub, I'm sure you remember the one.
Candy wrappers from that special present you bought me.
And your shirt. Amazingly, it still carries your scent.

There are no tears in my eyes
No shaking of my hands
I don't feel as if i could roll up and die
Actually surprisingly, I smile.
I think it's gone, the feelings, all gone.

They seem to come and go as they please
But now, they're gone, all gone
I can now look you in the eye
Smile and the n just walk on by
there's no regret on my side

Don; 't know if they'll return
But I'm telling you this
The day that they're finally gone
With you, I'll finally be done.
