Tear MemoriesA Poem by Al R. ArceJust a scribble
Silently you stare at the emptiness
anesthetized, your mind is numb Saturated with lidocaine so you don't feel But your eyes do... They burn from your blank stare You refuse to blink... You sense as they become watery Your brain expelling the excess drug Because is not natural not to be in pain Then it begins to trickle down One single tear, carving your cheek You remain still, you don't sob You don't wipe it, you just let it run You let it dry, or so you think Because you still feel it's trek Every inch of it, as if it were still sliding Reminding you of a forgotten reason For being in such a state Then you get up and go to a mirror Though the tear is long gone You still feel it on you Then you realize that tears Leave memories behind © 2015 Al R.
