THE GIFT by ABU AIYUB

First Line: I THOUGHT THAT IT WOULD BRING ME LUCK
Last Line: AND I WAS STRUCK APART.
Subject(s): GIFTS & GIVING;
I thought that it would bring me luck
To send a knife to you,
But my predictions came unstuck:
The omens proved too true.

The dagger is a digger, but
You dug it in my heart:
The cutter cut, the shutter shut,
And I was struck apart.
