These words flow from my pen As tears should from my eyes. But I find my cheeks dry For I knew this was coming. It was going too well For it to end the way I wanted. All it is really Is just history repeated. I cannot make tears surface, Even if I try, That’s the good thing about pessimists: Your hopes never get too high. Those words should hurt More than they do. But I’m used to that pain, So I’m not affected like I should be. Does this make me an alien? Untouched by an obvious emotion? I should be sad and hurt, But no tears come And my cheeks stay dry.

Dry Tears
These words flow from my pen As tears should from my eyes. But I find my cheeks dry For I knew this was coming. It was going too well For it to end the way I wanted. All it is really Is just history repeated. I cannot make tears surface, Even if I try, That’s the good thing about pessimists: Your hopes never get too high. Those words should hurt More than they do. But I’m used to that pain, So I’m not affected like I should be. Does this make me an alien? Untouched by an obvious emotion? I should be sad and hurt, But no tears come And my cheeks stay dry.
