Filing Cabinet

Last night I wore the pajamas

I would wear when I was with you

The silly muppet tshirt that made you smile

And the black and white checkered pants

I thought imagining you there

With your arms wrapped around me

Would make me feel better

The pain is insurmountable

You thought you were right

You didn't understand my frustration

All types of promises broken

And all of your lies exposed

I finally saw you as you truly are

But it's not easy

Erasing our past from my memory

Or the love I felt for you

So I'll continue on like I always do

Eventually filing away our time together

Into a cabinet drawer of distant memories
