Tears

by Laura Robinson

Gently it creates a way for more to follow

Flowing down anyway and anywhere it wants

Staining the skin with its rich taste

Leaving the memories and all the pain

To be seen by others passing by

From deep within like a volcano erupts

Ready to burst and overflow

The rivers and streams formed by a single drop

Gathering in oceans, the sight is blurred

Bleary and bloodshot, run and hide

So alone in a world where no one’s there

Watching them fall into the puddles of life
