Fading photos of smiling young faces stuffed deep into trunks never seeing light
Old notebooks with youthful hope, filled with unfilled dreams, a book of non-achievement
An old t-shirt my close friend wore before he died, bringing out too much feeling to display
Framed photos of a girl I loved facing against walls unknowing there place in an empty room
Old dust jackets containing a life’s soundtrack laying on dirty floors collecting dust
Dirty dishes and dirty pint glasses that got use when times were good
Dreams I had that disappeared buried down deep in my chest
A life once lived but now decaying in places all around my house
Empty pill bottles in random places left out with the empty beer bottles
An engagement ring that was never worn long left sitting in a box
Some couches a bed against drywall cracks on crooked wooden floors are really all I’ve got
Old notebooks with youthful hope, filled with unfilled dreams, a book of non-achievement
An old t-shirt my close friend wore before he died, bringing out too much feeling to display
Framed photos of a girl I loved facing against walls unknowing there place in an empty room
Old dust jackets containing a life’s soundtrack laying on dirty floors collecting dust
Dirty dishes and dirty pint glasses that got use when times were good
Dreams I had that disappeared buried down deep in my chest
A life once lived but now decaying in places all around my house
Empty pill bottles in random places left out with the empty beer bottles
An engagement ring that was never worn long left sitting in a box
Some couches a bed against drywall cracks on crooked wooden floors are really all I’ve got
