Throw it All Away!

Another poem about my husband, when he hurt me.

I threw away that pillow
That soaked up all my tears
I threw away that blanket
We used for many years

I threw away the pictures
From our wedding day
I must have been crazy
To think the pain would go away

I threw away the letters
You wrote me long ago
I threw away all your things
I thought you'd like to know

I threw away the mattress
Now I sleep on the floor
If I knew you were going to walk out
I would have thrown out the door
