The Tears I Cry

A Poem by FaeryQueen

ots; inspired by Poem Laureate Cate Marvin

These words are simple; something even the most feeble-minded would understand. Can you understand why I find it so simple? Will you ever understand if ever, the reason I always cry at night? The tears seem like silver to the moon, to the sun; golden drops from another planet. You; what do you hold them as; just drops? Aren’t I more than that, though, more than anything you could’ve ever thought of? Aren’t I just what the doctor ordered, for the pain; the sadness? And you threw me out, only to bring me back again, and each and every time, here I stand, by your side; fresh, from the countless times that you take me and give me away again. I can’t cry anymore. My tears have all been used up. I got tired of crying, so I just stopped, instead I stare at the clouds, watching them frolic about, hoping one day, that it’d be us up there.
