Ouch

a flower, wilting in the sun...
a fish out of water,
flopping, gasping in air it can't breathe...
the screech of a tree,
splitting under the strike of lightning...
the shatter of glass,
or the cry of a baby...
peer into my heart and tell me what you see.
next time I think of falling in love,
remind me to slap myself.
The pain fades so much quicker.
