The Package
She posted a package to me
with no return address
Subtle hint if I ever saw one.
Inside were old letters
and photos of the happy couple.
Instant memories that
swooped in and throttled me.
Each snapshot had
carefully penned descriptions
of the location of our love
and the date we shared it.
Pressed between the
now rebuffed letters
was a rose
A dried and fragile pink rose
that once, and very early on,
announced my undeniable attraction.
It cut a trench through my heart
when that rose
crumbled in my hands,
much the way of our love
