The Packing of a Suitcase

Melancholy feelings brought a tear She wished she could take the memories of that year How her heart did ache As she lay wide awake Her suitcase was all packed But her heart would stay The cards were all stacked For her to go away And leave all her yesterdays - 3-16-18 Contest: 10 lines 5 words III Sponsor: Laura Loo
