Four Tears

Sad poems

Four tears fall from two tired eys,

One for each year since you left me.

Four tears fall from two tired eyes,

One for each time I thought I'd lost my soul.

Four tears fall from two tired eyes,

One for each time I begged you to come back.

Four tears fall from two tired eyes,

One for each letter I left on your grave to be blown away by an uncaring wind.

Four tears fall from two tired eyes,

One for each scar left by self hatred and a blunt knife.

Four tears fall from two tired eyes,

One for each plan to end my suffering, failed attempts at bravery.

Four tears fall from two tired eyes,

One for each time I blamed myself.



Four tears fall in their brethren's tracks, soaking my pillow.

Four tears fall as a child dreams, locked within a hurting soul.

Four tears fall from two tired eyes.

Dreaming of a better past, hoping for a better future, begging for the tears to stop.



No tears fall from two open eyes. She is awake. Numb. Pain is left for the night. Today is just a day.

The world awaits.
