Salt For My Heart

As your words cut my tears flowed from within
To rest on my lips and impart their taste
The sting of saltwater traced my soft skin
To leave hints of silver streaks on my face
You turned and went and left me wanting more
In the silence you could hear my heart break
Like glass shattering on a cold stone floor
My happiness seemed not too much to take
Like blossoms from a spring-time tree must fall
Undoubtedly your love for me would cease
Yet I can’t forget the sound of loves call
I thought as each day ends my pain should ease?
What once was complete is no longer whole
A numbness of the body, mind, and soul
