Crying For Tears

If these thoughts are real
then they must be
uncharacteristic
of normal...

A balance of abnormal
that is both astringent
and self absorbing.

In abstinence they 
become relentless
in their pursuit 
(until)
the remaining raw edges
of hope surrenders
to un-forgiveness.

Crying for tears,
an emollient for despair.


ps: not so sure just where this came from of if it even makes sense.just wrote it 
down in a flash.

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist,and I’d love to discuss the possibility of bringing this poem to life if you're ever interested.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
