Grocery List

I stood in my ghetto pad clutching a slip of paper.  A grocery list written by a person from my past..I had turned to him and asked him for help..his advisor was abusive to me and I asked him if he was willing to step in to stop the abuse

He was not. He did not. 

I was reluctant to dispose of the paper because he was deceased and I thought that added more value
to the paper.

Maybe I added more value to the paper then he did to me
