Leave You My Tears But I'Ll Need Them Back By Next Week

Leave you my tears?
I didn't.

I took down the
'For Sale' sign.

Threw in the
white flag.

Embalmed it
like a stiff in a fridge.
Sealed it
with a musical lick.
Packaged it
with airplane black box tape.
I hid it
it’s sitting with Hoffa.

Finished,
over,
took its last bow,
curtains closed.

I wrapped it in wire
barbed!

This heart of mine.

Andrea Dietrich Date: 11/1/2014 11:36:00 PM wow, wrapped it in barbed wire too. This is GREAT hyperbole, my friend. I do believe it is the only one on your current page of poetry that i had not yet seen. All the others of yours I plan to visit later are on your first page (maybe it is called page two I guess). I will be very sure I have seen all your poems on your current page. Pretty sure right now that I have! Well, unlock your heart!! You deserve nothing but joy. Login to Reply
