Valentine

For my dearest Valentine

To you I give this heart of mine.

 

I've cut it out so carefully,

for you and all the world to see.

 

It has a few old scars and stings,

and holes where once there were tiny strings.

 

I've placed it in this wooden box,

a perfect bow which sits a top this broken heart of mine.

 

A little note tucked deep inside

"From me to you, my Valentine"
