I know not every girl has a 'break up' box.
I know I do.
It's full of useless pieces of paper.
Movie tickets.
Parking receipts.
Itineraries.
It's full of meaningless pieces of junk.
A broken bracelet.
A sad Domo figure.
A bottle.
Useless. Meaningless.
They meant so much to me.
As did you.
That parking ticket was the last thing I got before you broke me.
That bottle was the last thing your lips touched before you left.
That bracelet you won for me at a pub quiz.
That movie ticket marked the first time you held my hand.
And now, I look at this box.
One that held so much pain.
I wish I could say I feel better, now.
But,
I feel...
Nothing.
