You Can't Write a Poem About Losing a Loved One
May 13, 2010
The tears dry,
the puddles of moisture evaporate
A lonely wave washes over you
Helpless
Abandoned
You realize they’re gone,
what do you do?
Then the pain returns
Gripping you
Strangling you,
until the tears return
Hot,
burning,
gushing
Your face covered in saltwater
After a while the crying stops,
the ducts run dry
Your eyes sting
red as cherries
You can’t hide it,
but you try.
You will continue to try from this day on.
