Trash Thoughts
"Picking up a pen with an active thought
Memories skyrocket out of your mind
The ink begins to slide out, smoothly like silk
The paper slowly grasps all your thoughts,
Word by word, the ink describes your story.
You pick up the envelope that conceals the emotions
Folding the paper, you slip it in like a coin in a piggy bank
You lock up the memory with your tongue.
Sign it with a kiss, and then you pick it up.
Throws it into the trashcan never to be touched.
These thoughts, are thoughts you never want to think of again."
