The Weeping of No Tears

“This! Is the only way that I can weep no tears seem to fall from out of my eyes. It isn’t that I’m unkind nor live in a fool’s paradise it’s just the way that I cry. Yet! Each word that splashes upon this page, are these not my tears that hides the rage? Each fiendish deed upon the earth a tear bound feeling to put into words!” © Harry J Horsman 1993

aha, page six has a new one for me to see!! This one has a marvelous idea in it, your words as the tears. You must be like me in this way. I rarely am brought to weeping tears. More often the not, my eyes will start to "tear up" but I do not cry. I do once in a great while but for me, it 's hard to understand people that wail and sob at the drop of a hat. Anyway, I love this poem. You are my last comment this morning. Maybe for the day. I have TONS of Xmas stuff to do. Luv,Andrea

I can relate to your experience very much. When my father died I could not weep for 8 days and then one day I don't know I wept so much that people could not see it.
