Anchor

There is a world within that can never be lost
Secrets never to be shared
We carry an anchor about our hearts
Some unrequited affection or another
To say I love you is a small thing indeed
To hold that love sacred
Another thing all together
So secreted away
Amid the debris
In a darkened corner of my heart
Every line of poetry you ever brought forth
Every word composed for you
Never, I suppose, shall it ever see
The light of another day
But I carry it with me always
An anchor about my heart
