 How To Let Go

This is how to let go of a love:

You take a walk on the beach at dawn

And envision the path you two had once walked.

You lift his name from your heart and place it on the waking sand.

You recap your meeting

Your eyes, buried in despair

Searches the stretching tides for reason,

Then you drop a tear, another tear

Another tear and another tear

Gift bags, from the anguish memory desires to offer.

Then you step aside,

As the waves,

Fervor messengers of the Sea goddess

Alleviates you, the bottomless PAIN of heartbreak.
