Salt Life

 One tear
Waits for its companion
On the curve of an eyelash
It doesn't have to wait long, and they are replaced by another
And another
And another
Let me go
I want to scream
You sacrificed nothing
And I want to be untethered
And without remorse
But I must settle for drowning
In sorrow
In pear wine
In my solitude
With only tears
That never stop falling
It is summer
It is always summer
When he emerges
No matter where he's been
But I won't save him again
