A small black velveteen pouch -
a reminder of the secrets and betrayal
of another life long ago.
With hesitation,
I gently pull on the satin cord to look inside,
slowly reaching in to remove the shiny golden keychain -
a skeleton key,
engraved with her sentimental words,
"the key to my heart".
He had been holding the key
to someone else's heart -
the evidence hidden away
in the dark corner of the trunk. ~ msc
