Notes

Notes are used for anything,

for knowledge, for learning.

Notes are used to say anything,
for love, for confessing.

Notes are a way to say something

while you aren't there.

Notes are a way to confess

while you aren't there.

Notes are a way to reject
while you aren't there.

Notes are a way to record
to look back on what was.

Notes are a way to depict
what was there.

Notes are notes,
and notes are special.

Notes are messages
that must be sent.

And yet, I hold all of mine close,
never letting them see the sun.

Leaving them in a box,
under my nose, under my woes.

For me, notes are a way of seeing
all of the things inside.
