the smallest box will do (Free verse) by elderking
while packing up the leavings
of our four year you-screw-me,
I came across some things you left
and I've shipped them C.O.D.
I packed the lack of self esteem
you fed so graciously.
you'll find it near the bottom
keeping your respect some company.
though tarnished, you'll find useful
every truth you shared with me.
(to fill up space, I had to add
your idea of fidelity).
I didn't forget to include your trust
(it never fit properly)
I left it where it's always been,
hidden in your jealousy.
and lastly, here's the pieces
of the "me" required by you.
I found them scarred and battered,
by all the "happiness" we knew.
and so the years are finally packed,
(it's taken weeks to gather all)
standing back, i have to laugh
"that box seems so damned small."

Except, for being an ignorant 15yroldbrat, what's C.O.D.?
C.O.D. a term used by the Post Office some years ago. It was a service (Cash On Delivery) where no mailing or shipping costs were paid until the pkg reached it's destination. Who ever recieved the pkg paid all costs immediately upon delivery.
Definitely shows my age knowing that stuff!
