Secrets Buried In The Underwear Drawer
By: Felix Perry
In her bottom dresser drawer
Beneath her stack of underwear
Way back in the farthest corner
She hides what she once held dear
All that’s left of what was then
A single love letter old with age
A picture of them holding hands
Love captured on a history page
A sweet love poem he wrote her
The last one she didn’t burn
Something made her hold back
She knew for it she’d someday yearn
The tiny diamond promise ring
He gave her that Christmas Eve
Tarnished now just like her heart
She rubs it gently on her sleeve
Then the faded newspaper clipping
“Head On Crash” the headlines blare
Thirty years hidden in a drawer
No one knows he still lives there!

That title just begs the reader to delve in. A sad one indeed of young love cut short, it's flame hidden away but not extinguished. Full of emotion.
