TRAVIS'S SHIRT

Travis left his shirt here

the last time that he visited.

 

That was in August 2001.

 

It's purple,

and for awhile it smelled like him.

 

It made me hard to wear it.

It still hangs in my closet.

It reminds me of the good times.

I'll probably have it for as long as I live.

 

I wish it still smelled like him though...

It would be nice if I could wear it to bed,

with the scent of Travis on me.

 

I miss him,

even though he was an asshole.

 

He was the last guy that I ever really fell for.

 

Too bad his words were as empty

as the shirt that hangs in my closet.
