Shadows In The Closet
He spent a weekend
in the shadows
with her clothes and shoes.
He had forgotten how beautiful she looked in them.
Each trip to the car
brought back memories
of events and places.
He brought his monsters
into the light
and they sat quietly
waiting for him
to move them to a new home.
Would he miss them?
Once the closet was empty
he set about filling it again
so that the next occupant
could store their own monsters
within its walls.
Why was it so hard
to step from the shadows
into the light?
