Safe Keeping

safe keeping

I put you in a 
safe place in my heart.
we had words 
you left into the looming dark.
I saw you with more clarity, 
and yet, I hold you in a safe 
place in my heart.

I like those short poems too. Get in and get out say what you have to say stripped down. Thanks for reading my work.
