The Color of My Tears

Tell me the color of my tears tell me if you will what is the color of my tears are they the color white or red I can’t bare to look and see There must be something wrong with me I’ve never done this crying thing before my wife was the center of my life she took away everything I had my love my two children my life and she won’t give them back to me so I took the spade and dug the hole where she’s now laid in the darkest corner of my mind where the wind blows cold and it always rains the sun will never shine in the darkest corner of my mind I feel the tears falling from my eyes like an April rain does my crying bring me shame I cannot bare the pain tell me please what is the color of my tears I’ve never done this drying thing before Dennis Davis 10/28/17
