Cleaning out the closet takes time and thought
the days and weeks of avoidance
deciphering what needs to go
what needs to be saved
for a rainy day
parting ways is not always easy
hard to say goodbye to comfortable shoes
gone
the sweater that no longer compliments
when you needed it most
gone
the things you thought would last a lifetime
those too tight jeans have left a mark
gone
the empty hangers of lost possessions
I never checked the attic
