forgotten longing

the echoes begin from a forgotten cave

every time I take my microscope

to examine the folds of the heart

I sigh after finding everything flourishing

but who knew

that your heart can put up a facade

and hide creases

detailed valleys filled with memories

ones that the microscope has not yet observed

the cave never grows bigger

the curves get thicker
