Tears
Tears are all that is left within.
The remains of a broken
heart,
a battered spirit wronged.
Tears are all that lingers.
In an empty shell,
a human being that once
longed.
Tears are all that comes forth.
The only emotion shown,
the only feeling known.
Tears the only means of
release.
Of the pain and emptiness
reflected in eyes haunted
by sadness and despair.
Tears trailing down cheek,
wiped away in haste
to hide from the world,
the broken down soul within.
