Written for Sheryl’s Daily Word Prompt: https://onedailyprompt.wordpress.com/2020/05/05/your-daily-word-prompt-cypher-ydwordprompt-may-5-2020/

Before even writing for this I thought to myself, cypher…hmmm…why does it seem like I should know this so well? Well, I know decipher, which now makes total sense. I guess I never really used the word cypher (cipher) before now.

The note

Written in code so no one will know 

What you have written to me. 

How will I know what the note says 

Or what kind of cypher it’ll be? 

Will you give me a clue or even a hint 

So that I can start to release 

The meaning of this card left for me 

With lipstick stains on the crease?
