Send

Darling, you send me
this color heart, two

kissy faces, one
smiley face, and three

pink unicorns and how
am I supposed

to feel?! And I just, what,
forget everything

that happened?!
No, send me no hearts,

just three of the blue
butterflies, the bumble bee,

two dolphins, and two
of the crying faces

…or, else, this
is the only

color heart
I’ll ever send

you again.
