While passing a trash bin
I spotted your love
crumpled and bleeding
underneath shredded bills
I pulled it out
smoothed it down
read it through
Stained a crying red
it told me the story
of how you have loved
and lost
(a familiar tune)
It had wide margins
and several tear stains
I added some notes
and pain of my own
(I hope you don't mind)
While passing a mailbox
I dropped in your love
folded and healing
on top packaged bills
