How far did you let her run?
I do not see her footprints
on the broken sand
where you left her.
The honeymoon beach wedding
has faded away with
the waves.
You must have
waved
goodbye to her
far too many times.
She is now basking away in
the sunlight you couldn't have
ever imagined
giving her.
She is past cliffs
and over shores.
I am sure she is somewhere
happy.
Turning a heartbreak into a home,
this is what
you
gave to her.
A canvas
smudged of colors.
You can't paint
love.
You can't stop time
with portraits.
You can't bring hearts back to life
by melting clocks.
So Mr. Salvador,
Try to teach me
how to love.
You must have watched her
run,
turning
meters into
miles.
Miles turn into oceans,
you must have drowned her with lost time.
beautiful.
