Ode To a Tear

Eyes of a million Shedding tears of a billion Tears I know not of yet Some have all ready paid, while other still remain in debt There’s this burning, aching, feared, pain That tightens the throat and before you know it, your pouring rain In the middle of the night It pours the hardstand even in silence you’re caught in a battle you still fight. In your mind you can hear That pitiful, dragging, lonely sound you want to fear Your starting to need the pain you know best Your falling way to slow but you love what you’ve become, a mess You watch as your drops of tears fall into an overflowed tub. And you let yourself plunge in those salty, sweet, tears that fill your tub And you wrap yourself in your towel of lies It’s sad because you hate the living but your afraid to die You’re so caught up in the pain; you find no reason to breathe And emotions and feelings start’s to leave. And all that’s left of you is an empty, dark, hole Where another lost soul Will shed a tear same as yours. By: Casthra Demosthene March 23, 2006
