Taken and Given

There's a hole in the world
Where once shone a smile.

Secret heart,
Burning.

I never saw her
Until words were spoken
Over her head.

I never lay beside her
Until she was written
Into the living journal.

I was never touched by her
Until her hands were crossed
Over her heart.

Secret smile
Shining.

There's a soul in the sky
Where once dreamers saw stars.
