Funny, I don't even remember writing this one, although it was only a month ago by the date stamp.




Puddle

I lay here,

A puddle.

You ripped 

My heart out;

Tossed it

Onto the railroad tracks.

I don’t need it,

I guess.

I’m just 

A puddle,

Anyway,

In the parking lot,

For the cars

To drive through.

I like this, Nancy. It's very simple and to the point. After having your heart ripped out, it figures that cars would drive through you.

I love that imagery. Would have loved some more back story though. The metaphor didn't make up for it
