A Warm Place

Someone once told me that there are

Little people that live in our hearts.

They hold us when we are sad-- Or so I"ve 

Been told. I wouldn't want anyone to touch that

Sometimes, when I'm cold, I jump off of bridges,

Landing in warm places. I wonder if there's a 

Woman in my heart? Perhaps she has dark

Hair and warm eyes. Perhaps she cries

Maybe she just lies there to feel the warmth of the 

Dive-- Fearing postage stamp farewells

Maybe she's the glare of cellphone screens in my

Unsatisfied pane glass windows. I wonder if 

The ground was sad when I landed? Maybe

The letter fell through the air, sprouting

Wings to land upon a cloud near the heart 

Of the sky. Maybe the woman inside 

Will read it and feel the warmth and

The pain of transparent goodbyes

Sentiments we can all relate to. Protecting ourselves against pain, the awfulness of goodbyes. Very nicely done.
