Tears of Return



For some reason

whatever reasons

and there could be many,

I find tears upon

my cheeks,

worn in weary returns

of devastation

to so many.



I saved some

for the poetry read today,

losses spilt in bloods ink

passages of everyday chapters

heartbreak,

old stories that renew

in made over remakes

fools, one and all.



Have a few more

for those who didn't get out

or chose to stay

when that bitch blew in,

wrecking more than life

itself

forging I fear,

the greater depression

that looms in cloud cover

waiting, just waiting

to lead us

in new eras of sin,

that may never wash away.



Did I say they fall

too easy today?

They do

and they also fall

for you.

I read between the lines

saw where you finished the book,

also saw where you folded the

first page of the second chapter

the one you keep going back too,

hoping somehow the ending will

change,

probably won't happen

but sometimes it nice to

relive the memories

as long as there aren't

too many torn pages

in-between

the fall at the end.



Here

share a tear

I have many,

especially today

for whatever reason,

and there could be many...
