Salty

3:50 AM

I feel salty,
A Coarse black lump of salt
Sits gingerly in the hollow
Where the heart was supposed to be
I feel salty.
A salty blood
Streaming through
Making its monotonous rounds
Day by day
Night by night
Reluctant.

I feel salty,
For the tear ducts have bent,
The salt water seeping, flowing,
Leaking inside
Further hardening
The caves as it dries.
Salty.
I feel salty inside.
