Tears-

Let them show you where you are,
let them make your molecules
fall apart
even if you must
fight the barrier to time.....
retrieve again the moment
you
s
a
n
k
the hourglass-
and predicted the end of your healing.

Let them, the citizens of your mirror,
S E E
that when you know you are powerless
you will have no more tears
to bleed through.
You will only have the stains of drunken
glass c u t t i n g you
in jagged heartbeats.

There will be no more reoccurring memories
to cover over, and no more
C h a s i n g
the personality
of who you were during the time
you fell in love with tears.
