Tears Cry Tears of Their Own
Suddenly
my thoughts run deeper
and
become folded
inside
the scent of the air
until
they pull on my heart-strings
and
watch
my
tears cry tears of their own.
And
I laugh and smile,
pretend
to be happy
as
if I don't remember
you're
gone.
However,
sorrow brings truth
as
it closes in
to
unravel the seconds
of
each sleepless night
I
have held for years unknown.
And
I realize,
it's
time to move forward,
stop
letting my tears
cry
tears
of
their own.
Wow, I never looked at it that way... depression creates depression, tears cry tears of their own...
