Tears tell stories
Of happy and sad
Of times you were lonely
And times you were glad
They can come like the rain
On a cold, stormy night
Or an occasional sprinkle
Of joy and delight

Coronavirus
Don't come back
If you will
I'll give you a thwack

Tears dribble down my skin
Dripping like rain, down my chin
Wondering if he'll ever come back
Into this world that's as dark as black
Shivering, shuddering down my throat
Drowning in sorrows
In my own boat

I follow my dreams
They follow me too
I'm never alone
Only with you
Every step
Every breath

There are 2 copies of me
One is useless
One is good
Which is which?
Nobody knows
Only the shadow that goes wherever I go

Waves crash to the shore
Laughter echoes through warm sand
Children playing once again

I look out the foggy window, and there it is
The moon that shines so bright
As I sit in this dark room wondering what to do
I watch for hours as it sinks into the never-ending sky
And my tears flow as it disappears
It is replaced with a new circle of light
More yellow and more bright
It makes me feel scared and watched by strangers
Eyes are looking at me as my face rains with sadness
Where is my precious? My love? My life?
Where is the light when it's dark outside?
