Palmetto

Our bed

You're lying their lazily

I climb on top and straddle you

Looking into your eyes

I start to cry

My tears pour into your eye sockets

Filling your body

Until you drown

You become the ocean

You become a pile of sand

I quietly sweep it off the bed

I crawl under the covers

Into the indentation

You left behind

heartbreak
