Charms
In my drawer,
I find charms.
Charms missing their chains,
Charms that once had a purpose.
One in particular catches my eye.
A heart,
But with a piece missing.
A piece in the shape of a key.
I know who holds the key,
And it brings me to tears,
Engraved in the back,
There are two names.
'Alec + Kiyah' the charm says,
And I know the key says the same.
Why do I torture myself like this?
It didn't work,
We both know this.
Yet little things will make me remember,
Remember what I have done to him.
And what he had done to me.
I set the charm down,
Letting the past go.
I tell myself that it was right,
It was right to save myself the grief.
Although it broke his heart.
