Better Times

I feel you - pain in my heart, vice like grip in my chest. Won't you leave? No, stay a while so that I can memorize how much this hurts, how it hurts, why it hurts, where it hurts I can't keep the tears inside, they force their way through like a wild, unruly river. They say it's good to cry and I want to believe them, but the pain gripping my chest? Is this pain just you taking back the pieces of your heart one by one? I can feel each piece as it's removed. Why must you? Please, leave them there... don't go, don't change, don't fade away into nothing! Nothing lasts forever, but I never expected 'nothing' to ever end. OH ENDINGS! I can hardly stand you!

I'll collect these tears to one day make a sparkling necklace of salt crystals.
