I remember you got me a keychain
I carry it with me through this pain,
and even though you're not actually with me
Thoughts of you still swim around my brain,
and I could drown in all the words I can't say to you
Right now
Until I can
I'll carry my keychain around
I touch your face in a photograph,
because now you're just a picture of what we had
At least you won't ask for my keychain back
I'll hold it
I'll keep it
You can be sure of that
I remember you got me a keychain
It keeps me dry in torrential rain,
and even though you're not actually with me
Thoughts of you still feel the same,
and I could drown in all the words I can't say to you
Right now
Until I can
I'll carry my keychain around

Getting Serious About Comedy (Part I)
If I were asked to remark on my life and the childhood that paved some road leading me to this point, I would have to say something about all the funny people who surrounded me for the last 26,872 days (and counting). Somewhere along that road, I became a big fan of laughter and the comedy that spawns it – and, I mean not only my own laughter, but the laughter of others, some of which I have actually been responsible for inducing.

I love the power of objects and what they represent. I’ve had similar experiences..ironically making a keyring with someone way back in my school days.. Excellent poem Frankie! 😊👏
"and I could drown in all the words I can't say to you". That line was sooooo relatable. Loved your poem so much!
