I found some parts of you today
in the box of junk you packed for me.
Seems you wanted me to remember,
while you were forcing me to leave.
As I tore the old tape open,
and the stale air leaked outside,
I found those parts of you
and laid them out side by side.
I carefully looked them over,
the memories came flooding in.
Then smiled as I thought about
how much Ive grown since then.
You packed this box to hurt me,
and you almost had your way.
But the girl you packed this box for,
is no longer here to witness your display.
So I packed your parts back inside
that old and tattered tomb,
and I drug that box down to the curb
for the trash truck to consume.
