Black tears

Trapped within my heart
I found a tear, I found a rose
I found a thorn, I found love.


This love took me out of my bubble,
It took me to the highest peak
And then...
Then it threw me to deepest cliff.  


I discovered I was a soulless body
I discovered I was a loveless heart
And more important
I discovered how many black tears I could cry. 


I made a cocoon for him in my arms
And fed him with the last bit of sanity I had
Until emptiness came over… again
Loveless, soulless, black tears… again. 


After so many falls
Pain becomes part of your soul
Black tears become a bitter sweet chalice,
A cup of sorrow to be emptied drop by drop
Just like your love.
