Handle With Care

The words “Handle With Care” were stamped on the box.
Yet you threw it anyway.
The words “Handle With Care” were stamped on the letter.
Yet you tore it anyway.
The words “Handle With Care” were stamped on the certificate.
Yet you crumpled it anyway.
The words “Handle With Care” were carved into the wood.
Yet you burned it anyway.
The words “Handle With Care” were ingrained into the vase.
Yet you smashed it anyway.
The words “Handle With Care” were written on the mirror.
Yet you shattered it anyway.
The words “Handle With Care” were written in the diary.
Yet you cracked the spine anyway.
The words “Handle With Care” were plastered on the wall.
Yet you broke it down anyway.
The words “Handle With Care” were engraved into the door.
Yet you took it off its hinges anyway.
The words “Handle With Care” were carved into my heart.
Yet you split it in half anyway.
You split it in half.
And now the words “Handle With Care” have faded away.
