My Sweet Tear

This is a poem. ;] Written October 2006.


Is there freedom in this numbness?
Or am I disguising my pain…
Say, can removing the stinger
Relieve the sting?

What has become of my self pity… or any self care
Am I holding my breath to bask in the joy
Of saving air
Is my answer a novocain
Or is it a cure
Do I only love my self for loving others more?
…But in missing breaths have I lost the chance to give

Come to me, sweet pain
If only to remind me
That I live
May I feel long enough to know
I am not hiding myself from change
Come to me, my sweet tear
In some pain there is nothing to fear
Wash away the heartache of numbness
My sweet tear

Have I gone too far this time?
Refusing the sorrow knowing you will make it right
Do I need to feel to understand
How only you can relieve me of my pain
