Tears.

It is said that we all have them

Inside of our eye sockets 

Ready and waiting to poor out at the slightest of upsets

Yet I cannot seem to find those which lie inside of me

I see my dearest of friends and closest of family cry boisterous tears

Still I seem to have none

Whether it be for loss of a pet, friend, or even parent

My tears simply will not come

And when I am so down that it hurts to even breathe 

Still they will not come

Even when pushed over the edge of angst or depression

All I can do is lay in silence and enjoy the knot caught in my throat

And the bitter sweet burning of my eyes

Along with the thought that I was almost normal

That I was ever so close to finding 

Tears.
