like a toy thats been
shredded or tossed in the air
and then discarded,
given no more deference than
tired hand-me-downs
in the hands of a child.
years pass, the
value fades,
hinting toward a once glorious
pure gold, but now
only twinkling the last
of a remembered reflection.
tarnished with everyday use
what is love
but a flippant four letter
word, slipping off the tongue?
i love you.
does it mean anything?
give it meaning
throw your weight behind it
like a boxer behind a knock out punch
blow your mind, blow his
mind, give it an intensity
value it higher than just a
toss of the tongue
for how else will we
tell the secrets of our hearts?
