Keys

 
She still has all the keys that are of no use to her.
The silver one is for your old apartment.
She says she keeps forgetting to throw them out
But we all know why she keeps them.
Because the silver one is for your house.
She still has all the keys that are of no use to her.
Like memories, they dangle in the space between your love,
She says she keeps forgetting to throw them out.
She says she’s sorry that she hasn’t thrown you out.
Not from that little space where your love used to be.
She says she’s trying
and please forgive her if she still keeps the keys
you gave her.
Those are the only things she has left from you.
She’s trying.
I’m trying.
