Teardrops

sue.evans

I felt the sorrow of your loss

Reflected in the clear glass 

Of the liquid crystals falling

Softly down the valley of your face.

I felt the pain of your suffering-

Fragmenting as they dropped and shattered,

Kaleidoscope pictures wrenched from your soul.

I felt the hunger in your belly

As the crystals formed a river of pity

Mirroring the hurt inside your body.

I felt the misery of your loneliness 

In the dampness of your skin;

As those jewels of liquid silver 

Tattooed your face

With wrinkles of worry

Furrows of fear, lines of self-hate.

I felt for you as those teardrops

Wrestled your pride

On the waves of your emotions

On display as you cried.
