Dear Tear,


Not so long ago
When relief swept my mind
your trickling down
spoke of my unspoken mind

I had thought of you before,
as not a part of me
not wanting to be part of me

But as I think of you now,
you are me
and the only truth of me

You ignore my fake laugh
as futile call and
roll, roll down only as I roll over on floor
Senselessly

Oh, when you swell in my eyes
and refute to leave
how true do you know
me and the way I live

when my mouth was dry
and the night was too long
you
quenched my thirst with salt
and left yourself to dry all night

Though I have been an infidel
I, now, wait for you
for me to know myself

Thanks and Regards
