Tears
June 2, 2023
I cry tears
That is a fact well known
I cry tears of many things
I cry tears of water
The most basic of the them all
I weep and whimper, silently closing my eyes
To bid my sight from the things that sadden
As dogs die and parents lose
I cry my tears of tainted water
I cry tears of poison ivy
I burn those that touch me and create a rash that lasts forever
I shriek and shout at the world around me
I cry in anger and fury unleashed
Fights and stress taking tolls on my body, finally unleashed into the wild
And as my rash spreads, I cry my tears of acid rain
I cry tears of gold
As life blooms and glows around me
I laugh as tears surround me
Fools and buffoons are gone
And my family surrounds me
No longer with the ones who are the enemies
I cry my tears of gold.
As I leave my love behind
I drift into slumber asleep
My tears reek of death
As I close my eyes again.
