Things to Fill the Time

So I wrote this as song lyrics, but it's way long and gets kind of redundant so I don't know what it is now. I guess it's almost song lyrics, but basically just a bunch of stanzas of stuff.

I counted 22 mini-wheats
and the days since you left
Later my Alphabet soup told me to
sit on the kitchen floor and write
a story about a lonely man

I fill the top drawer of my dresser with
calendar pages, pink ribbons,
bobby pins, and cherry stems.

I take endless showers and soak in
baths, but I still smell you on my skin
and in my hair. I wrap myself in
a robe the color of raspberry sherbert
to look for buttons for my jar.

I fill the top drawer of my dresser with
pine tree air fresheners, marbles,
dove chocolate wrappers, and kite string.

I opened my box to color a picture,
but all my crayons were your favorite color.
So after taht summer storm I took a
walk and tried not to squish the worms
on the sidewalk.

I fill the top drawer of my dresser with
marker caps, yellow legos,
the number 4, and pens with black ink.

As I sat and counted the ants on the
sidewalk, the cracks they ran across almost
spelled out I love you, so I caught
fireflies in a jar to keep me company,
but they refused to shine.

I fill the top drawer of my dresser with
lonely pennies, socks with holes,
song lyrics, and used paint brushes.

I'm reading Sherlock Holmes stories,
but why you left is still a mystery to me.
The clock says 3:23 in the morning so I make
chocolate pudding and stare at the ceiling.

I fill the top drawer of my dresser with
piano music, matchbox cars,
bookmarks, and black and white photographs.

I'm still searching new puddles for
frogs and my future. I want a fresh
start so I bought a new guitar, but your
memory is still in this song

I filled the top drawer of my dresser with
every memory of you I could find, but
it's so full you overflow into my life again.
