filled with memories of you
sometimes i open it
and remember the times we shared
it makes me feel whole, just as much as empty
happy just as much as sad
and loved just as much as lonely

as i pick up the scattered memories
i feel as though i am picking up
pieces of my heart
i smell them, feel them
touch them, and remember them

when i put them together
i feel as though as i am constructing a mold of my heart
replacing each piece of the frame
every time i open the box
the frame gets stronger and less fragile

it makes me smile to know that
at one time i was loved and that, i loved
many pieces remind me of the pain you gave me,
but with sorrow and grief.. comes power and triumph
and i feel as though i have won

you may have broken my heart
but you taught me something
if you love someone, really really love them
love will give you the strength to let them go [comments] => 2 [counter] => 199 [topic] => 48 [informant] => longforgottenlove [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => EmotionalPoetry )
