Tucked Away

Tucked away in your heart

Is there a tiny little corner for me?

A place you escape to

When you want the world to let you be?

Or have you turned a corner over

Like a page in a dog-eared book

read, with an excitement, but now done,

And hidden me under?

But can it really be so easy

To forget all your whispered sweet-nothings

The sighs, the laughs, the claps

Those unfettered expressions of innocent glee?

Marred by a piece of paper,

Written long, long, really LONG ago,

Our feelings playing a tango

Confusion, pain, anger...and then ennui.

Sitting alone, in front of my screen

This is what I wonder, my sweet baby

Tucked away in a your heart, is there a corner

A special little corner for me?
