I have cleared up the mess
and packed up the guilt,
I have put regret back on the shelf.
I have made some space,
Cleared out some old thoughts,
I have thrown away a habit
And shooed out some ghosts
I took some old memories and cut the ties
I wrapped them up and put them in a box up high
I found love there and dusted it off,
I found happiness and caring,
and I found a future.
And I kept them.
I opened a window to let in the light.
This space is not new,
But I've cleared it out now,
For you
One of my very first attempts at poetry so please forgive any major technical errors. Let me know what you think.
