Red heart shaped paper
bearing an innocent question.
A yes or no in anticipation,
brought on by uncertainty and desperation.

Dare from complaint,
unsuspecting shove,
tongue prying though closed lips.

Decision of guilt and carelessness,
unknown face in the moonlight,
tongue probing unpleasantly.

The remaining line is still uncrossed
As dreams change with each new infatuation.
Open cardboard boxes
Remain unused in wooden cases.
