For Others It’s Trash

Disappointment Is So Hard
To Throw Away...
Like A Parasite, You Just
Can't Shake It Off.

It Seems It Would
Be Easy To Throw
Out The Trash...

But Like A Tattoo...
Go Away!

Out Damn Spot!

Like A Life Sadly
Lost, Expended.

"Expired."

I should've mentioned that I'm a hoarder? Why justify my desire, there... for what it's worth? Oh... oops... yeah, that's severe... values.
