Today we are bringing you another a Call and Response from Christine/Brave and Reckless and Chuck/The Reluctant Poet.
i am a faded, tattered
valentine
pinned to a dusty bulletin board
a thumb tack
piercing my heart
partially covered by
photographs of smiling new faces
and perky motivational sayings
only bits and pieces of me
still visible in the montage
the sentiments I carried
that you once treasured
enough to put me here
with loving hands
in a place of honor
now forgotten
why do you leave me here
hanging alone?
