I'M Being Sifted... Poem by JoAnn McGrath

I'm Being Sifted


I'm being sifted like wheat from the chaff

Except what's remaining is not the better half

You tore my heart out and threw it on the floor

Left there...not wanted anymore

Not that there was still a beat for you

But will I ever be able to love anew

Will these bits of empty shell

Ever be able to feel the rushing swells

Will I cry for pure ecstasy and joy

Or will these tears be left to destroy
