Passing The Parcel

It’ll be you next

When the music stops

So I’ll look away

As your heart drops

---

An Unwanted Gift

You’ll always carry it with you,
the pain.

You can try to wrap it differently.

Use an alternative box,
choose a shiny wrapping paper.

Secure it with ribbon,

Even glue on a fucking huge bow,
if you like.

But you’ll still carry it with you,
the pain.

Like a gaudy present nobody wants to open.

An unwanted gift you can never return.
