They fall seemingly from the corners of my eyes.
Thick and hot, like blood.
Drowning the creases in my skin and delicately taking quick advantage of heartache.
Producing no color, they roll, forming various shapes, as of memories.
Then on the cheek, they fade, staining like blood, and leaving behind the bitter taste of pain.

Don't hold back the words you really mean.

Hi Cowgirl,

i liked this a lot..the images are a bit disturbing though..like Rachel from the sitcom FRIENDS, i have a weird thing about eyes and i am uncomfortable thinking about the analogy of tears to blood...

FateRider,

   Thanks. I understand what you mean about tears and blood.  I have this attraction to peoples eyes though, I believe you can find truth and more in people's eyes.

Don't hold back the words you really mean.

Very profound piece of writing. I really liked it a lot. This is the first poem I read from you, and I'm going to go read more now.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

Somewhere out there a cow is laughing at you

I really love what you wrote here esp

"Producing no color, they roll, forming various shapes, as of memories."

I'd rather think that tears are like rivers and streams, carrying the heartbreak in it's riverbeds.
