A heartbeat leaps

Into a tailspin a hurried pace with much ado

until the dust settles and clarity comes into view

Looking back he sees me

Now I’m not there

In his heart I never was

To take a call now would only make me the fool he tried to play me to be

yet no fool am I

I’m not looking back

for when I walked I shook the dust off my feet

to become a pillar of salt I shall not be

What’s done is done and cannot be undone

Trust is gone taken away with me

Salt to the wind I carry on
