removed from storage

someone from the past

You need to bury me
or give me my proper place
in your life.

You cannot keep me
a warm memory to be
removed from storage
and fondled when you wish.

You were kind to me
when I needed a friend.
now you want to sully that
and make it something
it was not.

You have her now,
I can't be who I was to you,
and I won't be your unpaid w***e.

"Geezer". Ha. Appropriate.
It is funny how things get past a point and then there is no going back. Not ever!
I don't understand it, but it is obvious when it happens.

You are exactly right. Funny how some people close their eyes and pretend.

I've never been a fan of the whole friends with benefits thing...or to be second choice. I could feel the emotion in your words....and the title is brilliant!

Thanks so much. It wasn't the original, I changed it after the fact. And yes, it isn't a nice feeling when this is where a friendship ends.

I'll drink to this one!! I feel the frustration boiling through this write, KL.

Outstanding write that I, personally, can easily relate to! xo :)
