Alison Valentine - Our Little Secret


...what's mine?

these days,
I try not to have too many,
though I do have a few 
I'll admit
only for protection

when you think about it,
what's the point 
if you always have to hide,
and always have little things
tucked away
tucked away
tucked away

Soon enough
you forget those little things
'cause they're lost way back
on the shelf where you left them
accumulating
and taking
tiny pieces of you
bit by bit
by bit...
