Deep Sea of Tears

Do you remember the feeling of crying?
the tears slowly streaming down
it's like a warm presence
leaving your body 
I can't say I feel comfort in crying
because when I cry
there's no one to wipe the tears away
I take my hands out of my back pockets
holding onto what's left of my pants
and I scoop up my tears in hopes
of keeping my dignity
or maybe my sanity

Welcome to Poetry Soup. I welcome 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." God bless you.
