Romance & The Truth

Tears are only droplets

Hardly worthy of being called

"Puddles"

barely bodies of water at all -


Oh, but I am a writer

so truly,

they are exclusively

Oceans.

Inlets.

Tributaries.

An entire day's preparations

can yield to me this;

best case scenario

Oceans.

Inlets.

Tributaries.

Pain.

Because I am intact

and everything hurts.
