Used cardboard boxes
Wet with morning dew;
Worn out by friction.
Fun was all we knew.

Used cardboard boxes
Marked with affection;
Accompanied with screams.
Teenage has just begun.

New cardboard boxes
Packed to the brim;
Sealed with closure
To memories of him.

New cardboard boxes
Follow me through life;
Accumulating things
As I battle inner strife.
