I keep your heart locked
in my bedside drawer.
Not a locker,
not a safe,
because I swore
to keep it close
even after
you went away.
Close enough
I can hear it say,
“I will always
beat for you,
only you.”
Close enough
its muffled rhythm
lulls me to sleep
on nights I miss you
too deeply
to find peace.
Close enough
to touch,
to feel the faded
pulse of your love.
If only I hadn’t
lost the key,
maybe I could
hold your heart
close to me
one more night.
