can we
imagine,
every time
we experience
any pain or suffering,
we can just shed one giant
teardrop instead of always trying
to hide our crimson-red eyes because of
countless nights of sobbing & crying,
a never-ending stream of tears,
because of sadness, shame
  or regret?

She is thin and waifish,
A brittle piece of paper.
He is volatile and uncontrollable.
Within him he carries a spark,
Unknowingly he lights the girl.
At first she glows,
Burning brighter and brighter,
Until she ignites.
She flames and fires
At first he is terrified.
Her sudden passion meets his
And he is drawn to her.
He seizes her seeking her heat.
They are caught in an inferno,
He revels in her magnificence.
She dies down exhausted.
A husk of her former self.
She burned too bright

Drawing pictures of any opaque scenery
Instead of your smile.
