Jar of Tears

Jar full of tears

 

 

The sounds of tears dropping down my face

is the sweet lullaby that drifts me off to sleep

For tears, have no care

They will seep whenever

Leaving you bare

They will haunt you until you confront them

But only if you dare

 

I collect not one but two

Jars of tears every night

With hell in plain sight

For I cannot confront my tears

 

I hide behind a buffer

So, no one can see my tears

No one can see me suffer

But one day I will break free

I promise you,

I will run with glee

 

But until that day, I wipe my tears clean

My face will stay full of sorrow

Full of pain

I will forever have

A tearstain

The title reminds me of Jar of Hearts by Christina Perri..I think tears is repeated a little too much but it your case it works..it's an awesome poem..nice work

This reminds me of a hot muffler.

Lines to this just keeps the reader in a somber feel throughout your verse... like following actual tear drop flow down as meaning of intent within the write... and in the end cannot flow no longer and turn to a tear stain. thanks for sharing...

Nice pain written in this poem and yet there is hope as well, really great write, i like the way you wrote it with the tears and wonderful title.

I like the pain filled text, but at the same time it has that glimpse of hope of becoming happy and cheerful. Good job keep it up :)!

I felt the last stanze wraps the entire piece up for me, a clear piece of triumph and stated relevance, well done, good read.

After the climax in the third stanza the fourth stanza is redundant what I feel. I think the poem should be ended with that much of the positive feeling. The theme is simple and very easy to understand. Can be taken as a good poem.
