Unfinished collections

Remember the night

When you fell into that pit

And I decided I was not strong enough to 
Save you

Cannot recall how you came out of it

Just walked away

How to forget 
So long as you remember

You taught me to finish one thing

Before starting another

Just walked away but

You crawled and got stuck

In my jar of unfinished collections

I watch you move inside that jar, sometimes,

High up on the shelf, beyond reach

Cannot really make out your face

I tossed you, effortlessly,

Not strong enough to save you

Not strong enough, still,

To toss you from my shelf
