Packing Away

[Falcon2001]

Edit: This song is sung to the tune of The Postal Service - Sleeping In. I just realized it a bit ago when I was looking at it.

 

Packing up dusty memories

The good and the bad call to me

I sit down among the many brown boxes

And remember how I used to be

 

A report card I forgot existed

With warnings oh so very insistent

High school was such a fleeting image

How do I move away from the instant

 

A picture curling at the corners

From lying dormant in a dank drawer

The smiles on the fading film call

How am I supposed to leave this all

 

As I pack up my many possessions

I'm forcefully reminded of lessons

I learned over time as I acquired

All the stuff that I used to admire

 

And now it's all going to come with me

But still my life seems oh so empty

So many questions come to mind

I'll find the answers at the end of time

 

And so I'm sitting here surrounded

By memories and moving boxes

I can move myself and these fantasies

But what could possibly move me?

 

Packing up ancient memories

The old and new they call to me

I lie among these many brown boxes

And remember how I used to be

Moving is such an akward situation. Its almost frightful but then at the same time exciting.. I like the peom very much my old friend. Reminds me off when I packed up my stuff, leaving for the service. never wanted to pack up some many memories just to collect dust
