Tears

Tears

A Poem by Lesley Irma

Tears

have never stopped

unwanted touches

unwelcome advances

hurtful words

Tears

have never sobered

a mother

a father

a husband

wife, child, sister, brother

Tears

have never brought back

a dead child

a lost lover

a forgotten friend

Tears

have never replenished

an emptied

bank account

refrigerator

gas tank

...Heart

Tears

have never repaired

a broken

relationship

family

dishes - furniture

arm, foot, leg, FACE

Tears

give me a headache

and make my eyes puffy

they give me nothing in return
