My mind's as blank
as the screen I stare into
aimlessly searching for
my memories of you
my feelings for you
comfortably stowed
and archived into the
vaults of my brain and
the key misplaced
the codes erased
for I never wanted them
dressed in words
put up to display
for the prying eyes
the perceiving mind
my private collectibles
stainless and pure
lay dormant and secure

But now you are here
to give my thoughts
a new life
a new meaning
to stake your claim
on what is rightfully
yours as is mine
the time is ripe
to break open the vaults
dig deeper and bring
forth my thoughts
your thoughts; but
the codes erased
the key misplaced
my thoughts remain
archived and stowed
my feelings, my memories
timeless and rustless stay
in the vaults of my brain
I stare into the screen
dressed with words
ready for display but
My mind's as blank as before
