I hug you close
with apologies washed down the drain
forgiven;
pulling back to meet your eyes
they were wet and sad
--two generic descriptions
but your sorrow overflowed--

Don't cry. C'mon Baby, don't cry.

I stroke
every
single
tear
away from your
beautiful blue eyes
while apart of me
crashes and
caves in on itself
for my lover
who's breaking
right in front of these
dry eyes.
