a scarlet heart

highs and lows 

of a loved that glowed

the ins and outs 

of what I know

darkness and light, 

day to night 

candles extinguished 

that once burned bright 

open my lips 

and speak the words 

I love you floats

and is unheard 

always here 

for you to see

a scarlet heart 

worn on my sleeve
