Shadow Box Lie

Missing image

 
 
 
The plastic rose
you gave me
sits in my
shadow box,
on display.
 
With mindless abandon
you painted on
fake petals
artificially dyed
Red Lake 40.
 
Your corolla of lies
is preserved,
a deceptive form,
malevolence 
behind glass.
 
Yet,
this painful
memory
I keep...
