Poetry Hour: 15 Seconds

15 Seconds

Scarlet letters spell guilt

Tears have no place here

Destruction has taken it course

Post-it notes left with the final answer

“I’m done”

but it didn’t take a rocket scientist

it just took a heart to care

I assume that has been misplaced too

Treasure trunks locked

Filled with enough sorry’s to last a while

But when in abundant, they mean nothing

So save the 15 seconds you’re short

Of making me give a damn

*Original poem. Please don’t steal*
