Salty tears sprout from my eyes,
I blink them away.
They slide down my face,
Onto my cheeks.
Stinging my skin,
Sadness flows through me.
I blink again,
But they stay.
Trickling down my nose,
Onto my lips.
I swallow back tears.
Tears stream down my face,
I lick my lips.
More tears sprout,
Teardrops on my eyelashes.
Such a sorrowful moment,
Seems to last forever.
