Lot's Wife

His last words to me were “walk away and don’t look back”

As if I would turn into a pillar of salt

Without turning around

Pillars of salt lined my cheeks

But I take those tears

And preserve my memories until he returns

To make a new batch

He’ll be in harm’s way

I’ll be safely in my home

Wondering if he’s ok

But this is what I signed up for

This life of having to walk away for way to long

Can’t look back when we part ways

Otherwise the salt comes again
