The Boxes

The boxes
By Michelle Morris

The boxes 
Are all that is left
Of us
Our lives
Our love

It's incredible how
We come together
As people
As couples
As families

With boxes
Of things
Of accumulated stuff
Of memories
Of love

And when we 
Leave
As we inevitably must
Whether through death
Or betrayal of trust

The boxes
Are what 
Remain
Of us
Our stuff

Our memories
Our love
Our hearts
In boxes
Apart
