Burning Tears
the voice beckened
pleading for a response
the body, curled in a ball
lifeless to the touch in the cold morning air
her lungs burning with pure oxygen
her morning jog leaving her breathless
the tears burning down her cheeks
unable to speak or move the pain to extreme
all she could do was cry from the inside out
trying to communicate her pain
that no one could understand
just tears to let someone know she was still alive
