Valentine

"Certainly tears are given to us to use." ~ Loretta Young

...someone gave me a present
   beautifully wrapped...
ribbons, bows, sparkles,
   confetti, tissue paper...
...extravagant and tempting
   as i opened the box...
...my breath escaped and
   the most beautiful lace...
...crushed to dust
   tragedy bore itself inside of me...
