sea glass

my heart beats like the waves
my lungs breath with the tide.

i gave you my heart
just to be denied.

my heart was broken
like shattered glass.

the pain was sharp
but it didn't last.

with the sea it healed
as time moved on.

but unlike the sea
you were gone.

 i gathered my heart
the sharp edges now dull.

but even with help
my heart will never be whole.

I love this poem. Just beautiful, I love the metaphors and how you put these words together.
