It had finally been unburied
A small box of treasure holding everything once of value to me
mostly crumbled pictures, papers, and cards...
and I began digging through a life now lost
Past lovers,friends,and family I haven't seen in years
now only fading words and images
turning to dust within my hands
Once held so tightly now just a tear
I looked around today and was engulfed by fear
Today will never last and thats a fact
