you will be angry
but don’t let your heart harden
stay soft
flexible
molded
you are the ocean

and he was just the rain

you can dance the night away
but don’t go looking for his love
in the bed of another

you will always leave empty handed

and you will hurt
let the hurt come
and stay for a week but not a day longer
close the door and lock it behind you

it was an unwelcome guest but a guest
nonetheless

remember to be at peace
even when the sun sets over
another day without his touch

he is not so important
to deny the rest of us
the rays of a smile
