unanswered again

We were walking along, alone.

And you handed your heart to me

Oh no, I said, I’d better not take it.

But something in your eyes

And in your lips

And in your hands

Told me that I needed it.

So I did.

But somehow

In my infinite clumsiness

I dropped your heart in a mud puddle

And walked all over it.

I apologized over and over and over-

I told you I shouldn’t have taken it.

You insisted you were fine,

Just picked up your hear

And tucked it in your jacket.

And I ran. Far.

Of course, someone else came along

And though it surprised me,

You gave your heart to her.

So my question is

Do you not care for me

Because I dropped your heart

Or

Because she holds it now?
