Books.
That have been worn,
Into scraps of important papers.

Letters.
Soft from being,
Folded and unfolded so many times.

Clothing.
Old but kept,
To hold onto feelings and memories.

Pictures.
Stored in the dark attic,
But imprinted into your mind.

Lots of things that are faded,
Are the most remembered.

"I wrote this in health class. The idea came from a piece of paper I crumpled up so many times it was soft, like fabric. I guess creativity flows when you're bored too. :)
