Recycled Tears
I slept: upon my side, the dreams that came were of you so far away.
I wept: two tiny tears rose from my eye, passed warm across my nose and snaked coldly to my other eye, till on the fresh linen they softly lay.
I swept: them into an airtight box concealed beneath my pillow - where
I kept: them - and on a nearby sign I wrote " To passers-by- if you are looking to revive your spirit - please drink your fill, but you must
Accept: that one contains the beautiful memories of a love so strong - and the other is full of sorrow and pain - the two are
Clept: Happiness and Sadness and must be drunk together and together they will serve you well".
