Today I lay you off
Your eyes that look through me
will not anymore
look into the depths of me.
Your smile folding soft
around the corners of your mouth,
the way in which you throw
your hair back,
your own walk
with which you walk in
and everything about you
that are own to you
I now swear off
and lock the safe
of my heart
and throw away the keys
at a place
where you cannot find it again.
