Empty

things that are empty. no longer useful, they have completed what the were created to do. empty. e.m.p.t.y. no longer full.
why do i keep empty things? keep them and love them and bring them with me when i leave one place to step foot in another. dozens of empty jars. under the tables, on top of the dresser, in the drawers. empty boxes. empty suitcases. stacked against the walls. stacked inside the closet. stacked inside the trunk of my car. empty wine glasses by the bed and under the desk.
empty tuperware in the refridgerator. empty bottles lined against the front door, never taken out.
i love empty things. i keep them and save them and sometimes fill them back up, but most often just leave them alone.
does it mean something. or nothing. is there a reason i hold on to things that have been used to their full potential. no reason. no deeper meaning.
i just like empty things.
and if you look at the word... it just seems so complicated.
