2Salt Water
How many tears to the gallon?
How long can we run
On sadness
That no one knows
The salty things
That we hide
Shameful we cry in the night
For things we cannot undo
Fake and false identity
A new face for every day
Only to return to the same
When no one watches
Dried out leaves
Pretending to be green
From a distance
We look alive
Salt water kills
Trees, and humans to
Rots them from
The inside out
