THE MORNING AFTER

as i wring out my pillow case

and pick my heart up off the floor

the salt of the tears i still taste

even though im not crying anymore

i take a deep breath to relieve pressure

and try to clear my mind

the love i once treasured

is no longer kind

surviving an almost fatal heartache

removing the knife from my chest

took all i could take

admit defeat and take a rest.

beautiful!

this was bursting with a feeling I think I know too.
oh that pain, no wonder they call it heart ache....thats really what it feels like.
I loved those first to lines, it set the whole write on it's way.....very well done....peace
