pouring salt.

 Today I died. 

watched myself grow lifeless beneath her weight. 
longing for one small look of hope.. 
finding none there in her eyes for me. 
the same eyes that used to glow the sweetest embers..
most precious of bright coals…
her silence boring the tiniest of holes into my skin
thousands and thousand at a time. 
I am bleeding.
scarred.
open flesh and torn epidermis tossed
and thrown into the saltiest of sands..
 
I reached for her hand.. 
  and she was not there.
