I do not cry
Pretty tears
No gentle rain
For me
No single teardrop
slowly trailing
down an alabster cheek
No soft sigh
No, I sob
A wild Thunderstorm
Wracked with Grief
I Grieve
I sob
I hurt..
No beauty queen
tears for me
Emotion grabs me
shakes me
controls me
I do not cry
pretty tears
rather inelegant
gulping gasping sobs
Tears falling off
spiked lashes
Like a waterfall
Dashing to the rocks
The pain engulfs me
strangles me
controls me
purges me
Leaving me empty
destroyed
ruined and lost
