Black Tears.


It's time for the truth, no turning back.

But... All my friends and fears,

They're all quickly turning black.

Then I realized, it was my tears.


The sobs suddenly escaped my chest,

As the tears streamed down my face.

I saw in the mirror a girl who was depressed...

I knew that girl, I wanted to destroy her with angst.


I collapsed in front of my reflection;

More tears came, as I pulled my sleeve back.

It took only one more scar to relieve my depression.

So, why are the tears becoming more black?


My pain was only temporarily gone,

I tried the slashing many times before.

On that wrist so many scars were done.

The pain was back, I continued to weep.


From the public I could hide my scars,

I could hide my pain.

But the truth would be revealed through my eyes.

Maybe I should end all the lies...


Simply just fade away with my black tears,

Be gone and far away from my hurt.

I could blend in with my dark fears,

As the soul of thee stays alert.


This was the truth, without turning back,

My friends and fears...

Are no longer black.

Fore; I have no more tears.

That's really what I aspire for, I want people to connect to what I'm writing.

This is an interesting piece, I really like how you ended it. The sixth stanza is my favorite one.

Thank you very much, I appreciate it. The sixth stanza was actually re-done a few times. I just settled on that one.

Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
