Shaker of Salt

I don’t know where to hide the pain

it sifts from my pores 

fertilizing a past you see no more

I bend under the weight 

but pretend I’m picking flowers 

The weeds of lies you quickly devour

My tears are deemed rainbow spheres 

Fragile shards of emotions

You chase gleefully into the ocean 

I wave from the shore

Becoming smaller in stature and voice

Until I am … no more
