Closet Graffiti

I write your name 
in each closet I hide in, 
I’ve spent my life hiding, 
it seems. 
Sometimes i’ll scribble 
a message beneath it, 
the date or a quote or 
my dreams. 
White walls are canvases 
begging for color, 
a marker makes quick, 
even strokes. 
I leave your mark 
on all I encounter, 
it’s better than matches 
and smoke. 
Someone will find it
eventually darling, and 
wonder who once 
uncapped pen.
They might paint over 
this monument to you, 
I’ll have to start 
hiding again.
