Heartless

heartless 

small and mean
dissecting a heart

peer into it closely
unfurl its soft red petals

poke and prod
with promises, then betrayals

it will last just long enough.
until you are bored.

Thank you Timothy. If I were the camel I would tell me to stuff it and go lay down in the shade. I am not good at seeing the obvious. You got me.
