I remember your sly smile
when you gave me the gift:
you said it was a unicorn horn,
you said you found it,
you said it was magical
and I fell in love with you.
It felt like lightning in my hands
as the magic ran through me too.

I put it on the mantle
as a reminder of our love:
you said the horn brought us luck,
you said we were forever,
you said we’d stay together,
and I was so in awe of you.
Until the day the horn melted
and the icicle spoke its truth.
