the box on the shelf

in time
we compartmentalize
our past.
we have to.
we can't go on
in any other way.
living with grief,
or sorrow
each day.
we have to put things
in a box
and slide them onto
some shelf
where they will collect
dust
and finally be tossed
aside because at last
we've met 
a better love in
someone else.
