Tears



Tears: a release of tension?

Why was I crying last night...in my sleep?

Why do I feel like crying today...awake?



Sadness permeates me;

is it for bygone times?

for future possibilities?



Are these regretful tears trying to spill out?



Are they tears of deep hurt welling forth?



Yes! That struck a chord.



Here they come, spurting forth

Clamp down! Hard! Fast! Stop them!



There. Swallowed again.



If eyes are the window of the soul

what are tears?
