Different Tears

Do you recognize these teardrops,

That's flowing here once more?

My cheek's become their resting place

Like a thousand times before

My sleeves reach out in sympathy

To heal this liquid pain

But the scars stay hidden in silence

As the hurt begins to stain

You couldn't hear my heart break

But you can see it in my eyes

My tears bring forth the evidence

That my silent pain denies

Do these teardrops look familiar?

Each one feels the same

I'm tired of crying these reused tears

With only you to blame

You told me that you're sorry

But I've heard those words for years

It's time for me to say goodbye

And cry some different tears

[Tina Kline]

A really really good write about the pain that bad relationships bring. Sometimes the tears are only on the inside. A very well written poem too.
