Black Tears

Inspired by the mourning of students at my high school after the death of a fellow student.

The rain pours 

And drowns all promise

Through shadows of pain

Behind curtains of anguish

Lightning does call

As thunder does roll

And each falling drop

Are tears never heard

For when all goes black

And soon fades to gray

Us writers attack

And save the dark day

And our ink shall run

Color those tears

Stain the rain

And suppress all fears

'Cause when one does fall

We hang our heads

Lie lowly in shame

And writhe in pity

Say silent sorries

And buried truths

Hope no one hears

What indeed we did lose

And were scared to cry

And let others see

But when tragedy visits

Tears are all that you need
