Tears

I have forgotten how to cry
It seems almost impossible now
Like that part of me no longer exists

I have shed a tear
A single tear
No more no less

My throat has gotten tight
And I have squeezed my eyes shut tightly
Hoping to feel some release

But no such feeling came
The pain still remand
And no ease was in sight

I wish I could just recall the feeling
To feel relief sweep over me
To have gentle tears glide down my cheek

To be able to feel myself give way to my sorrow
To be able to accept everything that has happened
To allow myself a moment of peace

I envy those who can weep
Jealousy consumes me when I see tears on their cheeks
I just want to cry

But I have have forgotten how...
 
 
 

Author's Note

This was inspired by my dear sister Angie :-) I have wanted to really cry for a long time. Not just to get choked up, and have one or two tears come but really cry. But I am afraid I simply can't anymore. Anyway let me know what you think!

Feel like inside of the tears . And became one of them. Very nice flow and strange harmony . I like that very much

it's the perfect release to cry..it's an emotional doorway..not always easy to open especially if your afraid that you won't be able to close it ...
