The Teardrop Poem
A poem is just a teardrop
A form of liquid pain
Released to pen and paper
Our words become a stain
The hurt that's bottled up inside
Can come out through our eyes
Promises made, but never kept
Are nothing but liquid lies
As the teardrop hits the paper
The words begin to form
Releasing all the pain inside
To calm the coming storm
Heartache is just another word
That's written by our tears
The pain becomes the writer's quill
'Til a little relief appears
A poem is just a teardrop
That's worded carefully
Liquid pain becomes a stain
And sets the poet free
