My Tears
I sit patiently as a single tear falls from my eye

I feel it's journey down the smooth curve of my cheek

It dies slowly as it trickles down my neck and is absorbed by my shirt

I am calm.

Another tear forms and drops down my cheek, landing on my lips...
stinging...hurting...reminding me why it exists.

Then and only then do I feel pain in my heart and cry countless tears.

I am no longer calm.
