Open Container

I could be long 

I could be short

I could be another line 

That didn’t have the time 

So all I did was wonder why 

You could see me and so I’d feel seen 

But I would still look the same 

You could know me and so I’d be known 

And yet I’d still be what I contain 

My heart is open 

It holds on to hoping 

That you could feel how I feel 

Until then my lips will still be sealed 

Like a smile 

Formed in denial 

With no choice, but to wait a while
