    Tissue of Tears


    I can feel it run down the curve of my cheek
    My sadness has reached a mountain’s peak
    I’m hurt, confused, I just don’t know what to do
    So at this point in my life I’ll have to say I’m through
    The first one comes down and sits on my throat
    The second one comes down and I start to choke
    The third one plows down a face once dry
    The fourth one makes me wish I wasn’t alive
    So I grab a tissue to soak up my rain
    I grab a tissue to soak up the pain
    I grab a tissue to soak up the sorrow
    I grab a tissue to soak up tomorrow
    Silly me for thinking me and you could last
    Silly me for jumping up and moving too fast
    Silly me for being young and surrendering my heart
    Silly me, now I sit and cry alone in the dark
    But this is my last stand, I will cry no more
    Because I shed rivers but I don’t know what for
    It’s sad to think that you stole so many of my years
    Wasted and soaked up in my tissue of tears

    very good

    If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.

    Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) American poet.
