do you ever just
sit there crying
and feel every tear fall
you notice the
warmth of each one
streaming down your cheek
one at a time
maybe counting how long
it takes for
each tear to drop down
past your jaw
trying anything to distract
your mind and heart
from the pain
you feel inside
but then slowly
becoming paralyzed with
an overwhelming sadness
and your body can't
seem to move properly
and your mouth
becomes so dry
that you try to speak
but no words come out
so your eyes
do the talking for you
you don't even have
enough energy
to wipe away the tears
so you let them roll from
your burning and bloodshot eyes
feeling every sting
through watery and blurry vision
slowy rocking back and forth
while you try to
remember how to breathe
