Uncertain Heart

By lupus tenebrae





These words, 
while intimate,
are mere stencils

for an uncertain
heart;

one smile away
from a frown and
one familiar face

away from a stranger
come to visit

in the night.

One of the poems I'd written in the E.R., the bland decor really helped to keep me focused.

    Well, I've mellowed out a bit in my four years on this site. I guess, in retrospect, things were never as dark as they appeared. Scholar
