The pillow

I had this
Pillow since
We had been
Married.
I slept on
It
For years
The pillow
Felt
Our love
Our laughter
Our frustration
Our pain and tears.
When I left
You asked
For the pillow.
I lied and said
I did
Not have it
But I did.
Today I woke
Up and let
Go
Finally.
I took
A green
Trash
Bag and
In it went.
As I walked
To the dumpster
I saw a young
Couple holding
Hands.
That was us.
And
Now we are
Separate .
I walked
To the dumpster
And stood
Looking
At it.
My hand
Would not
Let go
Of the bag .
Let go
I said to
Myself.
I let it
Go.
I stood
Unable
To move .
It was gone.
The last
Thing that was
Us, the pillow.
I walked away
Numb.
How did I get
Here God?
As I checked
The mail
The flyers
Blew out
Of my
Hand.
Chasing it
I grabbed it
Fast .
The add
Was for
Pillows
30% off.
I smiled .
God works
If you
Just let go
Let go of
What you
Need to
In my
Case, it was
The pillow.
