The white in me

cliché: putting things away in boxes
like you can do with your memory or heart.

I never wanted to put you into something
I only pulled the sheets up to your chin 
and kissed you goodnight

but now that I can't take you from anywhere
- you are somewhere but in nothing of mine -
I wish that I wouldn't have been so stubborn

and I wish that instead of avoiding clichés 
for once I just did
what they said
