Scattered Like Dust
rain pours down like a heartbeat
drip
drop
tik
tok
time ticks by
quicker every second
soon strong bones
become fragile
withering away
fading
fading
fading
into dust
scattered
across every inch of the world
soaked up by salty sea
cupped to the lips of someone else's
mouth
every aching heartbreak cured only by cookie dough ice cream
every laugh that lasted until tears poured down across your cheeks
every lost memory stirred up by the smell of a cherry tree or the way he stroked your hand with his thumb
forgotten
in a second
faster than you can say forever
