Sand Became My Tears

Once,

I had lost myself to dreams,

To the tide that carried them to the shore and handed me an ocean,

I raised them to know no harms,

Until I lost time.

 

Before,

I had a heart,

That pounded within my chest a stream of conscious love,

I bled water that was innocent,

Until it became dry.

 

Now,

My tears are bereft of blue,

Because blue was the color of my salivation that I let myself believe in,

It was a flourish of my humility,

Until sand became my tears.
