Eulogy of Tears

Pitter Patter drops of your silent tears

Brittle stars in my endless gaze

I’m slipping

Dreaming

Falling away

Into the resounding taps of your perpetual fear

-

Shadows dissolve my outstretched hand

As my abandoned hope begins to slowly fade

Night creeps along its hollow horizon

The silent tears are heard by an ocean of stars

-

Why would you cry? Why lament in darkness?

I suffer from the tainted roses of my heart

Tears feeding liquid burden upon my soul

The cuts etch deeper into my bleeding innocence

-

How could I forsake the solid hope of love?

I closed my eyes and turned away from a billion eyes staring

I’ve let go of your rope, the thread of life

Perishing beneath your swollen eyes

-

Pitter Patter drops of dissolution and sorrow

Nobody hears

Nobody cares

As silent as the moon…
