Beauty resembles a pattern of tears falling from a young girls eyes
Staring into the distance
The stars are shining tonight
A broken heart for a smiling face
Holding hands
Letting go in the night
Everything always leaves
A locket left on the ground
Chain broken
Never to be worn on a neck again
But pictures inside tell a tale
Of lives lived and spent
Love that was at it’s peak
Hearts broken then mended
Someone is crying
Somewhere
Can’t you feel a certain heaviness in the air
That awful feeling of despair
Glance up at the sky tonight
See a shooting star
Look a lost girl in the eye
Beautiful
Beauty
Resembles the pattern of tears falling
From her eyes

Only if those tears cleanse her. I'd rather take a beating then see a woman cry. But the attitude is right here, bittersweet memories and the symbolic looking upward.

An honest write. It took me a handful of years to realize that is more important in this giving of words than anything else in their composure. A bit of blood and tears with the sweat exerted in sculpting them.

Enjoyed
