yesterday i found the shirt
i was wearing when i met you.
i've had it tucked away,
hidden below all of my clothes.
i told myself that
i never wanted to see it again.
except that's a lie,
because i was never strong enough
to throw it out.
i assure you now, i am, and the shirt
resides in the dumpster outside my house.
most of the shirt, that is.
