(10:10 am)

Tears are streaming down your face
small invisible lines falling against skin
landing in my hair, face and neck

but I don't mind them

they are cool
against my
feverish skin

I can't cry anymore
not over that at least
I can only shake and
feel like running away

run so I can't see it
In the corner of my eye

or I can cry
it is just on
the inside

A girl weeping
In the corner
Trying to hold
herself together

like her mother told her to

Can you see someone else
