A Piece of Paper
What Comes Back
*****
It's been years since you passed away.
An odd fact that I forgot.
That is, until one day, it appeared.
Showing signs of wear, thankfully, no rot.
A piece of paper, reminding me that:
It's been years since you passed away
*****
Not just a piece of paper, your Social Security Card.
Forgotten in a drawer that I rarely use,
Placed in a plastic bag and wrapped in delicate tissue.
Tears form in my eyes,
As I realize,
It's been years since you passed away.
*****
Dropping to my knees, I cry.
Feeling the lack of closure,
Even though I said goodbye.
All traces of you were long gone, or so I thought.
Memories flash like a camera shot,
It's been years since you passed away
