• All the action figures on you bookshelf
    The empty Pepsi cans and dishes
    Each discarded piece of dirty laundry
    These, too, will eventually fall

    The letters from distant family
    The pictures drawn by childhood companions
    Including the careless art of your lover
    These, too, will eventually fall

    Every trinket and memory
    The IKEA sheets and comforter
    Even the collar secured to your bed
    These, too, will eventually fall

    When you return to Valrico
    Only to leave again before the next war
    All that remains is you and me
    These, too, will eventually fall
