The Gift

You wrapped it in a velvet pouch
and offered it to me.
I held my gift with trembling hand,
anticipating glee.
So tightly fastened with a knot
and hard to pull apart.
The knot undone, I found inside
a frozen, stone-cold heart.

That was rough. But it was good.

Cold hands means a warm heart

Joyce:  Not your usual style but it certainly has impact! Very well done.
