pretty, pretty

pretty, pretty little things
i found once
in a box
a picture of you
and me
holding hands
the flowers smelled
that day
like sunshine and
rainbows

pretty, pretty little things
i found once
in a drawer
the locket from you
it was
gold and silver
the chain broke
one day
like promises and
hearts

pretty, pretty little things
i found once
in a chest
the dress i wore
for you
that day we kissed
the hem torn
yellowed
faded like grass
dry

pretty pretty little things
i found once
in my heart
the heart i gave
to you
close you kept it
until the day
you set
it in the water
empty water
