today i wrote you a poem...

today i wrote you
a poem
and in it i whispered
a solitary secret
meant for you alone
i wrote my heart
onto that page
and wrapped it with three words
and then
i pushed it across
to where you sat

it slipped through
my shaking fingers
and fell
between a crack
in the floorboards

i never told you what it said
i couldn’t find the courage

    What is there to do but just see the cracks and know it is there…..I wanted instinctively to rip up the floorboards and find the note and give it back to you….to give you another opportunity to rip the note up or to give it to the recipient…...I guess I am remembering a similar situation and a little bit of true friendship would of been quite handy…especially if it came with some carpentry skills…. :))).......All that aside.. Ouch!

    sometimes I see such moments reflected in your work so when I read it, and especially ones like this, with so few words you have this amazing ability to create raw emotions. this could be a reflection of similar moments into the mirror.. your such an amazing writer
