Miners of the heart

She ached for
her true love
But met only miners
of the heart.
She wept crystals
of diamonds.
from her
china blue eyes.
And when they cut her
gold bled from her veins.
But the miners
stole everything
of value from her.
They plundered
and hacked her with
hammers and chisels
until she had nothing left
for them to steal.
now she weeps
just salty tears
And only blood flows
from her wounds
