Candy Hearts and Arsenic
[ 1 : 2 ]

Hearts with holes blown through them,
caused by bittersweet candy bar romances.
Candy hearts imprinted with pink lettered messages
will provide the answers.
Answers that lie hidden in the envelopes of children's valentines.

"Be Mine" scrawled in glitter on lacey hearts.
'Will you be?' I asked as I crawled along the floor.
The jury's still out on Valentine's Day,
deliberating till Valen-doom's day.
