poem

Staple Wall

what yearning builds and tenderness unravels

I loved him More than me I did not know If he loved me

So I packaged my heart Making it hard to refuse Wrapped tight in submission And sent it to him

He accepted the gift Removed the wrapper Layer by layer Until he couldn't anymore

The final sheets were stapled The last wall of defense He pulled and tore

After all that What he saw A Bleeding Heart with hanging staple pins
