Glamour
It's glamorous isn't it? The idea of death.
So high maintenance in fact, the missing bottle they never knew, exists in an offering of remorse.
I say glamorous because these small round anxiety producers labeled "relievers" lay inside that little red box.
Earrings of course.
So glamorously hidden inside the only gift I can remember receiving that felt like a weapon.
Maybe a thought, I can't forget.
But now I have earrings.
You say " I can't wait until I get to see you again"
I think about the box.
"I love you"
I think it's not as full as it used to be.
"You're beautiful"
Maybe I could stay like that.
You know the box spills out sometimes.
I've wondered what getting rid of the contents might look like... I wouldn't.
But maybe the most glamorous idea is that I could.
