Kept Boxes

Inspired by the wise words of wonderful people who've been there and supported me through the past year...

I wept memories into a kept box
And closed it.
Hid it, locked it away
Because I never want to lay
My eyes on it again.
But I'm not quite ready to let it go.
Yet.

But the inner lining of kept boxes
Is by no means water tight,
And they were right
When they said
That kept boxes don't hold tears in.
