My life on file

by phillip bligh - Leo

I keep my life on file
so i can review the past.
Time steadily pens my name
on freshly matted pulp.

My heart is safe within a chest.
Newly masoned brick 
replacing the door 
who's key can never be returned.
 
In my office, i sit alone
,holding white walls back with my blank mind.
Staring silently at a blinking screen
and scratching your name into the desk with ballpoint acuracy. 

And in the bottom drawer 
lays the naked truth.
A three page spread of
nothing that interests me.
