What it’s come down to is
wondering if
the toothbrush is still there
in the drawer
waiting for my return
Or
Did you toss it away
throw it in the trash
it was for travel after all
I’d still hoped
you would have kept it
just incase
Or
It was kept accidentally
an afterthought
due to this poetry
and now you don’t know what to do
keep it, trash it
it’s up to you
But I hope it’s still there
and I hope someday I’ll find out
when I open the drawer
and have to use it myself.
