Curiosity

you took
my breath
and put it in
a clean glass jar
placed the shinny
metal lid on tight
and arranged it
on a shelf
with the rest
of your collection
did you
capture me
or just the echo
of my whisper
so much you
betray yourself
more than you
could ever
betray me
for you
are just
the motion
in emotions

Oh I LOVE that! The motion in emotions.

Hope you don't mind if I use that as a hook for a song.......Sometimes one line says so much.

Great writing!
