Teardrop

Every teardrop have a weight to it
Sad or joy...they roll out 
ever so soundless but ever so heavy
to my heart they are
They don't come free fall on their own
With reasons they escape their safety 
Sad or joy...they free fall and down 
they go to nothingness...forever gone
Only to leaving streaks of wetness 
to remind their ever so temporary 
existence in hoping for you to notice 
they were ever so meaningful teardrops
So please don't go playing with my heart 
for every teardrop that streak down 
heavily hurt more than you know 

        Smile

Laken Smith Date: 5/9/2017 9:59:00 PM I am a firm believer that crying cleanses the soul. I was always told never to hold mine back because there is no shame in letting everything held back out. <3 bravo Login to Reply Akkina Downing Date: 5/9/2017 10:31:00 PM True that :)

Chris Green Date: 1/30/2017 7:19:00 AM Such a sad but truthful poem Akkina. It is true, each tear we cry has it's own story, either sadness of happiness. The happy ones are great, the sad ones not so much, Login to Reply Akkina Downing Date: 1/30/2017 10:34:00 AM Yes they are... And thank you Chris for your time I appreciated it very much :) xoxo
