Tears of Sand
Looking out into the seaShe stands
WOndering when her heart
left her chest to be swallowed
By the sea.
When did it happen?
When did she realize
That her heart was no longer
Hers but to a stranger
A stranger whose face she
Had never seen
Whose voice she had never heard
Whose touch she had never felt
How can this be- that
Her heart has been
Torn out of her body
And swept away by the tide
A single tear on her
Cheak gets wiped away by the wind
Falling to the ground
like grains of sand
Sifting through the fingers
of a clenched fist.
Perhaps when the tide comes in-
She'll get her heart back?
