Tears rushing down my face
Can't erase
The scorch of your displeasure.
In an instant, all is lost -
Such great cost.
Everything I treasure
Vanishes. And so it seems
I just dreamed
I meant something to you.
Might have been's a sad refrain
And I rain
Tears which have no value.

Very sad indeed. However, I liked the way it was presented, with the breaks all in the right place yet still connected. Very nice form, but again a very sad statement.

The harsh words really make your poem stand out. Well done, Suthern.

Suthern, the poem to me read like one large tear drop. Nicely done.

Suthern...with all your thoughts, Toe's and mine, being laid bare...shares in Kleenex have risen on the FTSE by 150%...

For each tear you cry
a sparkle reaches your eyes!

All tears have value dear,
though they make your makeup smear.
Well done, though distressingly sad!
At the one who spurned you, oh I'm mad!

Suthern, don't feel that way. I'm not displeased with ya. Oh, I know you always take Toe's side against me and ridicule me, attack me and laugh at me but I know it's only because you have been under his evil influence for too long. So be happy. Ah loves ya, man! (now where's that Bud Light?)
