did you replace your heart shaped key
love letter never shared
never signed
nor placed in the mail
words on a sheet
crying to be heard
like a wounded bird
cursive thoughts
weaving sad stories
short and never-ending
lost inside words
images burn bright
only to fade away
unfolded like a map
pressed by cold hands
tracing all the creases
refolded and returned
jewelry box without song
safeguards empty promises
february two thousand sixteen
