The Worth of My Tears
August 23, 2014
Catch the tears as they fall,
or they'll be broken glass;
such little drops they are,
but they can contain. . .
so much pain.
Do you know,
the worh of my tears
as they drip
and slip
from my open eyes?
Catch them as they drop,
please know the value of my tears;
maybe they don't have
a lot of value,
but they still have value
nonetheless. . .
Just please. . .
know the worth of my tears,
as they turn into little glass
and tumble
and shatter
onto the ground. . .
for you and everyone.

Darlin' this is absolutly amazing! I love how you discript the tears as glass. The whole thing sent shivers down my spine. Your writitng is always so beautiful and perfect. I envy your skills hahah :) I wanna see more, love! :)
People should know the value of your tears. Your tears are valuable, and each time you cry, whether they are drops of pain or tears of joy, each one is valuable and full of worth. Your tears are caught and put into a bottle, each time you cry. Someone always know you're crying, even when it feels like no-one knows. Your tears are worthy. I just hope someone here on this world, knows the worth of my tears, when I cry. Haha, I might write a poem about tears, human tears that is.
