UnpackingHim

I was with him 
for thirty-two years and 
I’m just now learning 
that my moving on
is much more arduous 
than I ever expected 
leaving things behind is
the easy part it’s 
the unpacking of memories 
it’s the sorting stacking 
and even the storage 
of such stuff that 
I find most daunting 
and so I go
on with this business 
every minute every hour 
every day every year 
and I will someday
run out of time 
or of these things 
and either one is 
completely fine by me 
for this is simply 
the cost of loving 
someone for a lifetime
