{Possessions}

In the corner of his room

A ragged teddy bear

A treasured security blanket

Torn beyond repair

On a shelf in her closet

A broken pair of heels

A book full of pages

Of everything she feels

A list of everything that's lost

Of all that's left behind

A single sheet of paper

Full of things they just can't find

A single bead is all that's left

Of Momma's treasured necklace

Too many pieces missing

To play a game of chess

Just one picture on the wall

Not even loved by those who live

No one awake to lay the blame

Some one who has to forgive

It s just an empty shell again

Full of our many dark confessions

Too many demons here remain

Haunting our dreams and old possessions
