Saline Eyes
curled up on the bed beside you,
me, just wanting to be there
silent, but there
saline eyes
betraying my feelings
you ask me why I cry,
and I cannot give a decent reply,
only "I'm scared"
but it is more than that...
so much so
a whirlpool of meaning
in those tears
but you are brave, so brave
strong, so strong
since it is you
who will be under that knife again, not me
yet you comfort me
as you always have
wiping away tears, kissing them away,
like mothers always do
