The Bottle - that I call 'YOU'

Set on the shelf
is the bottle called "YOU".
I don't have the nerve
to throw it away
And yet
it sits there day by day.
As I glance that way
now and then.
I forget the pain,
the tears and the rain of you.
Once in a blue misty night,
when those memories call from within
that smokey filled jar
begging for release -
and in a rare weak moment
I uncork the top
and take a deep breath
of the forgotten contents
that I once knew-
in the bottle I call You.
