Emotions welling up
A flood of everything breaking
Walls tumbling down
Cracks growing deeper
Strength growing weaker
My mask, my facade, fading fast
A single drop starts the flood
A single drop melds into the flow
A single drop falls down the face
Down the cheek, dripping onto my collar bone, hitting my shirt first
Empty is what I am a feeling that comes after crying so much
No feeling left, An empty hole
No longer filled with tears
No longer feeling the emotion of the situation
A single thread of hope frayed, burnt into ashes
Tears are words the heart can't say
Tears are words I can't speak
Tears are the words I dare not say
Tears locking my jaw in place
Cement hardening faster than I could ever blink
Tears are the flood that leaves me empty
Tears are the emotions I've held onto to for too long
Empty of tears
Empty of emotion
Empty of faith
Empty of joy
Empty of caring
