my mind tangles like
locket necklaces,
i am constantly seeking their
paths,
i'm not too sure
how to explain
what is tucked snug in these
silver traps
but when i pry them from their tight clasp,
photos from my past,
and thoughts of the present, tumble free,
before snapping closed once more,
but they always catch a part of me.
these confused gold veins in my mind
tangle and their hearts snap closed
in a single beat,
and
i wonder
why i ever opened up
at all.

these confused gold veins in my mind
