Of Coke cans and Crystal


The beautiful crystal candle holder
broke
the one you bought
the one we always kept
so carefully ready
for our nights together.

I've missed it
every day since
and you
even longer.

I'm not sure
when I knew
my heart had stopped
trusting
but it was soon after
the candle holder broke.

It was so like you
to buy that
so full of feeling
and passion
and joy
but I'd gladly
use a Coke can
if it meant
I'd hold you
again.
