What I Could've Said...

Transpierce the secret door in the empty staircase

What did you find?

Stitched up Teddy with one button eye

Cobwebs for thousands of miles

Trip on the note I wrote you

Four years ago to the day

I can smell the lighter fluid

When I burned the edges of the notebook paper

Creased by the thought of what it could've said

Marker fumes mask the scent

Of my unwillingness to bare the tune

What I could've said...
