Not Enough

Haiku

By Colleen WaltersPublished about a year ago 1 min read

Adroitly locked out

So broken she couldn’t find it,

Even if she tried.

—-

It wouldn’t be revealed

No matter how hard she looked,

Even if she sighed.

—-

It was never hers.

Something ventured, nothing gained

even if she cried.
