are you ever so
just blatantly terrified
because nothing is steady
like the tides moving
taking away my sand
before I could
blow it into a glass ring
woven around my finger
left hand,
second to last,
a promise withheld
no matter what.
but it fell through
the holes in my heart
taking her away from me.
a massive wave
hitting me
square in the chest,
the sudden realization
that everything changes
and she has so many things
to move onto
other than me.
