Pumpkin

all the things

I've loved and lost

if I got rid of them I'd be

jack-o-lantern

hollow


if I gave back

the silver medals

my trophy case would be

bare


they say

if you wait long enough

every love story becomes

a tragedy


that part came early


everything that doesn't kill you

they say


so here I am

2nd place strong

full of memory
