Pretty Tears

When I cry
My face doesn't scrunch up anymore
It still hurts
But I don't scream and cry anymore
I dont bawl
I just
Cry
The last time I balled
Was when you left me
Scarred and vulnerable
But now
A single tear
traces itself down my cheek
Instead of many
None of the pain is gone
But my cascading tears are
I don't understand
How you took those
away from me too.
