Combing through the mess you left behind... <br />I dig for remanants of attitude... <br />For aspects, <br />Hidden... <br />In loose socks and <br />Wadded-up efforts <br />Of penned prose <br />To me... <br />Of empty wrappers, <br />The labels of your taste... <br />The essence of you... <br />Surrounding and within your <br />Pile <br />Of left over <br />Dreams... <br />Your throw ways- <br />Of meaninglessness... <br />That still haunt me <br />In the corners of <br />My mind <br />2nd hand treasures, once <br />Worthless now... <br />As the fading day <br />Dies slowly in the west... <br />Realization that there <br />Is nothing worthwhile left- <br />Of what once was <br />Our cozy love nest...!<br /><br />Theodora (Theo) Onken<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/2nd-hand/
