Shining Tears

Squeezing the pain between my lips
trying not to cry
torturing my tears and never letting them go freely
listening to their sound,
the sound of sadness and sorrow
they're trying desperately,
they want to get out
but I shut my eyes trying not to shed a tear
these tears will make my sorrow deeper
I'm confused..

I open my eyes
but my  vision is blurry
I can't see,
tears are filling my eyes and heart
but I won't let a tear drop
       SUDDENLY!
The darkness surrounding me disappears
my vision becomes clear
I look at my cheek
seeing a tear sliding down
it gently falls off
shining its way and mine
then slowly drop after drop
each tear would shine...
