I left a small cushioned heart
on a footpath

in the rain

I waited to see
if anyone would pick it up
before I did
to squeeze the dirty water
from its soft core

Fake
gold trimmed box
red lined and damp

I picked up love
and still sodden,

locked it up

    This is beautiful. I love the way you divided it up into what seemed to me, "chapters". The images were lovely and sad.
