Notice the tears
For they are now fire
They burn away all chance
Burn everything you’ve got
Singeing the happiness you once had
Until it’s just one crumpled, crippled mess
The tears burn away all cares
They melt you
Until there’s nothing left

I had a pensive moment, after quite a bit of crying. I came up with this. Thanks for reading.
