Tears Uncried

suppressing 
     unexpressed hurt,
          rivers
               of tears uncried.

she's nursing a heart
     cleaved in two;
          prince charming
               deep-sixed her.

she's been 
     replaced 
          with new girl
               he met on the sly.

she's too numb to feel the...
     pain... 
          that everyone sees.

                  (yalto)
