By her side, they found it.
As sunrise rose they saw.
Dilated eyes, cold lips,breathless.
Frantic but with fear, fingertips reach for the beckoning lid.
A gift? What lies inside?
Oh wait, a letter beside the body.
A letter with answers? or more questions.
It simply read, “It’s sad that I had to slice it up a bit to make it fit”.
Heart-shaped box?
What a joke…
