"The Boxes Are Coming Today" a.k.a. "Boxes"
Larry A. Van Fleet
(inspired by a poem by Dr. D. Jasper)
V1: There's room on the table and a place on the chair, and all of the contents are loaded with care, but nary a shadow of the love that was there, and the boxes are coming today
V2: As I search through the bounty of what she retrieved, and I call on the memories tied into these, each box is a story of what I believed, and now this is all that survives
V3: Make room on the table and a place on the chair, and of all of the contents that were loaded with care, but nary a shadow of a love that was there and the boxes are coming today
V4: Make a room on the table and a place on the chair, how I long for her smile and the smell of her hair, but nothing remains of the love that was there, and the boxes are coming today, nothing remains of the love that was there and the boxes are coming today, the boxes are coming today
