don't you dare shed those tears
that you've been holding onto
for so long, in all these years
don't you dare mutter in grief
the single moment you sagged
in overwhelming simple relief
don't you dare cry out in pain
or tear your clothes, nor rip your
hair beneath a perfect summers rain
don't you dare try for sympathy
holding another's hand, randomly
for she is not random but your
epiphany
don't you dare weep for me
if a single tear drop falls
and burns a path so endless
let it be your downfall
you wept at nothingness
don't you dare weep for me
I'm may be the willow tree in winter
the barrenness that left you blind
I'm may be the heat of summer
that sweltered you so unkind
yet you dare to weep for me
when the seasons decide to change
it's not your tears that bring relief
it's the history you try to rearrange
Your tears are crocodilian
steeped in lies and treachery
sitting like empty salt lakes
don't you DARE weep for me
