LOST: 3 ft tall
color: Tan
goes by the name smelly

Oh my little friend
whom I forget all the time
but you were always there for me when I needed you
to take away the pain and memories
To help me keep my mind and my house clean

My little friend
where have you gone?
taken by the winds?
or some cruel being?
are you coming home soon?
I miss you.

I see your brother,
a twin lost without its other half
and I the same
lost without you

Will told me to compete with him for "Ode to the trashcan". Here's my version. Hope you like it.

PS if you live in the East Davis area, and you see a lonely tan trashcan... that may be ours =)

If you could reach into my head
and pull out all my thoughts
one by one
and lay them out in front of you
on the cutting room floor of life
what would you see?

do you know what you would see?
are you sure?
do you know who I am?
the deepest darkest recesses of my brain
could you handle it?
the pain, the sacrifice, the blood
the memories that even I can't handle

could you handle the nightmares?
can you even handle these words?
the blood, sweat, and tears I have shed
just to make you happy

can you see me?
becuase suddenly I see you all too clearly
the shallowness you pride yourself on
the joke that you make of life

i'm tired
I'm leaving
I wish I could believe you
when you say things will get better
but I don't

you once meant something to me
you once meant everything to me
but I see that I mean nothing to you
so I'm gone
