Are These Tears for Me or You?

             I

          see

         awful

        hurting

      wet tears

     Falling so-o

     Quickly, oh,

      so,  Sad!!

         SAD                   U

                                   are

                                 gone

                              and I, I

                             am left all

                           alone to cry

                          these tiny but

                        bitter, hard tears

                        for you.  I ache. I

                          sigh.  O God I

                             hurt for you,

                                and then

                                   I cry.



                                      

                I

              cry

             tears

          because

         I can’t do a

        single thing

         to  change          

          what has             I

             been               do

                                    not

                                  even

                                 try the

                                answer

                                 others  

                                  tell.  I          

                                   can       b

                                                u

                                                t-

                                              so

                                            sadly

                                          sigh and

                                         cry. Lord,

                                         I do CRY

                                          for you.        

                                            You.

Jessica.
Your water painting with words is exquisite. Those tears will not dry, weighted as they are with sad emotions.
Some people wring out the wetness, others write it out. We are lucky that you chose as you did.
Thank you for posting.

I guess somtimes we all feel like crying, even if it is only tears of joy...
"To be human is to feel... One cannot feel completely without tears"
I love the shape of this~~

Hi Jessica,

Nice poem. I liked the teardrop images also.
Aren't we lucky, in a way, that as women we can cry whenever we feel the need to?
And, so many reasons too.
