A Sad Occurrence

I keep thinking missing you will get easier.

It doesn't.

If I could give up flowers and all beautiful things

to get you back,

I would do it in a heartbeat.

That is,

if my heart would start beating again.

Until my blunder,

my veins were rivers

and my heart was the ocean,

vast,

thriving,

gently beating with the pull of the tide.

So I thought I was okay,

And I filled the ocean with sand

and cut off the rivers

and all I can do is make sad metaphors

for the pain I feel.

I'm sorry.
