A Box For My Friend

A BOX FOR MY FRIEND I have built you a box As tall as a tree A box for disposal of Black memories A box that will hold All guys who have hurt A box that will hold All their stinky old shirts. I have blown a glass cup That will hold every tear You will dump every heart ache Dump in the box Every shivering fear-- make certain to hide Nasty words so unfair-- Echoes that strangle The woman you are.............. You’ll perk some fresh coffee Breathe a world drama free-- Thump your butt on that box lid --- And sip your new dreams. 15 May 2013 Victoria Anderson-Throop

Dave--didn't mean to be a sexist when I wrote this! I know enough evil women out there that certainly qualify to be inserted into the box! Nice to meet you! Victoria
