Tears
A burning liquid trapped just behind
Tears pushed forward and cheeks they find
A of blurring vision till all shapes merge
Water comes forth with a burning surge
Face glistening now with salty brine
As the tears drip down in one hot line
Rolling off my chin and drop to floor
My mind is broken I can take no more
My breath comes out racked and pained
As my will to live is slowly drained
My body shudders like a wounded beast
From this torture I beg to be released
The burning pain deep within my chest
In the very spot were my love did rest
The emptiness burns more than the tears
Nothing now can fight off my fears.
Alone I sit upon a cold hard floor
Small in this world and all it war
I’ll never feel safe like I was before
But I long to see her face once more
