Today I discovered
A heart
made from
An elastic band
Someone had tied
A knot in the top
And a knot in the bottom
And twisted it
If I toyed with it
Too much
It lost it's
Shape
It was stretchy
But I knew
If I stretched it
Too far
It would snap
I could feel the tension
Between my fingers
So
I stole that heart
And now it sits
On my desk
Staring
And I wonder
If it will be
Noticed
Or missed
By anyone
Or whether
It's a heart
At all
Or just an elastic band
With two knots tied
One in either
End
