Bittersweet Tears
Bittersweet teardrops
trickle slowly down
dark black hair
a curtain hiding me
from the world that I
do not wish to face
I love you
I still do
But I was naive
gave you all I had to offer
and you broke me
Harsh words
Empty promises
False love
If I could cry
myself a river
I could leave
and swim away
from you and all the hurt
Leave it all behind
as I battle the tears
losing
slowly but surely
they slide down
I wipe them away
salty and sweet
droplets forming
more and more
drip to the ground
I cry all alone
no comfort
no joy
no light
all-encompassing
blackness
cloaks my world
and there is nobody there
to stop it
