Once upon a time there used to be
a notebook
resting against the grain of a 
tree
whose story wasn't meant to be told. 
At least not the way that yours
was
Before you thought to watch 
the way of the leaf
that fell. 

It held a hope that can't be reclaimed
no matter how many times
you draw that beautiful
curve.
