these three metal walls
closing in
packed with the memories
stained with your grin
one year later
I felt happy
thinking like I'm me now
and new people all surround me
but still these things
linger and distress
in the back of my mind
I'm still thinking about the past
still sitting in those boxes
covered in dust
molded and rust
showing me that I
don’t really think there
will ever be another us
ever be that undeniable trust
I'm sorry that my mind's still racing
but I'm sorry that my heart can't take it
sorry to say
but ill stay in my place
pack the rest of the boxes
load them in the car
and when I get to where I need
I'll throw them in there hard
and hope that all the feelings will
break under the weight
then I'll slide that fourth wall down
and throw away the key
and hope these silly memories
never come running back to me
