The Simplest Torture

Congratulations to your family!
The little package read.
Welcome your new baby!
Those bright pink letters said.
My hands gone cold and shaky,
I dropped it to the floor.
Quietly I stepped over,
And left it near the door.
Now curled up on the sofa,
My arms tight around my knees,
I die a little more inside -
I can't take days like these.
"I will not break down," I whisper,
And of course, again I fail.
Sometimes my worst torture,
Is delivered in the mail.
