Tears

Tears
falling
on my face
in great excess
all over nonsense
because he hurt me so
breaking and destroying me
to the very core that I'm numb
that waking in the morning's a chore
a thing sometimes I don't want to happen

Brandee, Life can be sad sometimes... and tearful. I like your choice of poetic form for this because it's like tears falling down life's tilted plane (diagonal) of emotions. Thanks for your comments, too. Lovingly, Dane (You have soupmail)
