unlit matches

black laced necklace

is the broken
necklace still
laid on your
dresser?

or has it
disappeared
into a drawer?

i forgot you offered
to fix it,
be back in two ticks.

the dust and cobwebs
cover my bones,
i've waited three minutes

...four minutes

...five eternities.

almost forgot
what and whom
i was waiting for.

gently traced my neck.

oh, something's missing.

wait a little longer,
maybe you'll be
back soon.

but your footsteps
never return,
so i guess i'm
just like the
necklace

lost in a draw.
