A package of the good stuff
Set aside for the best
A box of rubble
To be disposed with the rest
A litter of things
Like the thoughts in my head
A myriad of emotions
And words left unsaid
An exchange of arguments
And messages sent across
A war has been waged
Was it yours? Or my loss?
Realizations were made
“I’ve been forgiven,” as you say
Now it’s time to declutter, move on
From what happened yesterday.

No one wins in these kinds of battles.
Aww.. of course, moving on is essential, but forgetting things, it should be a temporary thing.. we don't want to lose people along the way..
@tess: very true.. thanks for visiting and leaving a comment! :)
@joe: yes.. some people are for keeps.. :)
Very well written poem and the meaning rings quite true.
@henry: thank you for your kind words! :)
..forgetting and moving on - most preferable shot in a noisy situation like these... so hold on you carbine and give a shot for peace.

yes natey! declutter.
let the chi flow freely.
there is freedom in true forgiveness, and i think decluttering after is surely an important part so we dont carry it around...
I like this poem, a lot, it has in it some tight emotions and is expressed wonderfully. Thanks so much for sharing it.
You wrote of the mess that goes hand in hand with decluttering beautifully.

Hello Nate.
My first time visiting.
Your ending rings so very true. Yay for forgiveness & moving on. Much healthier for everyone that way.
Thanks for sharing & for the visit too.

I love this, because it is so resonant with most of us - the need to de-clutter, and the hesitation in dong it. Well written!
@Andy: hey there! thanks for visiting and leaving a comment! :)
@Melissa: thanks for the comment! :)
great write.
your words sing.
@The Cello Strings: wow! thank you for your nice words!
Forgive and move on...wise advice that should be taken more often...great job!
Lots said in so few words ... never looked at "Declutter" in that way.
Nicely done, the end.
