Heart of Sandstone

Take her heart of sandstone

in the palm of your hand

and look deep into

the ocean of her eyes


Swim amongst every emotion

love

passion

respect

and trust


Yet the trust she has given to you

is something you did not earn


So you toss her sandstone heart about

and she picks up the pieces

and sticks them back on

Saying,

"I forgive you."


A forgiveness that wasn't earned

A trust that will be broken


So one day

you will toss her sandstone heart too high

And it will shatter

Leaving her to pick up the pieces

and learn from her mistakes


Her sandstone heart will turn to diamond

Radiant and Unbreakable
