A Crying Soul

Alison Schofield

My heart

Is bleeding tears,

Falling

Like rain,

But never

On the outside,

They sit on the rim

Of my eyes,

Clouding my vision,

Waiting

For release,

I try to wipe them

Away,

But more come

To fill their place,

They do not help

The emptiness,

And the longing,

So I close my eyes,

Hoping

They will go away

By force alone,

Setting up

Dams and floodgates

Within my emotions,

Forgetting the pain

That has scorch my soul,

And still

The tears bleed

In my soul’s domain,

To clean

The scars away.
