Heart Aching

A teardrop and a drip of my heart. 

I drink it up and breathe me in so I may know what it is I am holding deep within.

A tear drops with a drip of my heart. I don’t wipe it away. I let it cake on my face. I let my skin soak it back in so I may know what it feels like again. Again. 

So deeply.

A drop of my tear and a drip of my heart. This deep deep well. I pull it up and pour it out of me. 

These tears are not for what is lost. These tears are not my heart breaking. These are tears of love that I am yet to give. Tears of love. My heart a-kin to let in loving.

I pull it up and pour it over me. Layer down and under me.

This deep deep well. A drop of my tear and a drip of my heart.

Go in slowly. slowly in.
