I shed tears of dust
They are
Dry,
Barren,
Dehydrated,
Emotions no longer fill my tears,
As one falls it is taken
By the wind,
I have cried to much,
The moisture evaporated
I now keep it in,
Not wanting to show
How much I wish to cry
To let it flood the ground,
Pain,
Sorrow,
Loss,
All could be found in a tear
But if I start, "how can it stop"
I would drown
Be consumed,
In emotions I no longer trust.
So for now I shed tears
But they are but dust,
Taken in the wind
Hiding the real tears,
That flood my soul
Tears never seen, but flow so much
