Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.


What becomes of the broken heart?

Does it deflate
      like an exposed sarsaparilla
Or seep
      like a punctured tire
Maybe it grows coarse
      like a teddy bear
      left under the bed
Or tarnish
      like silver once pure
Does it wilt or wither away?
Does it sing in the silent abyss?
Does it burn in the sun
      on the deserted sand
Or bleed tears of purple and blue
 

Perhaps only in time will I know
