Tears.
Let's face it, we're an emotional lot, we creative types. Write about crying. It could be about the cause of your tears, the emotion behind them, or simply the physical reaction. Poetry and prose both welcome. Whichever way it takes you.

No Love Lost...Only Found

It swells up from a bottomless pit

It's so obvious what causes it

When I was a kid I caught on quick

People in the streets

Lovers cheating

Politicians cheating

Corruption everywhere

Lies on every channel

Poison on every shelf

Wealth being valued over each and every person's health

Oh man did I cry

I often still do

And I used to hide my tears

Until I learned they are glue

My tears hold me together

My tears keep me alive

My tears form a river that carries me downstream to the source of my sly

My slick

My quick

My everything is from my bottomless pit

And I'll cry an ocean to drown the falseness I see

I'll build an island on that ocean where all of us can be free

Watch me cry tears

Watch me cry out like an animal

I'll yell with eyes glistening

I am the one listening

I thought I'd die inside from the pain that I felt

It turns out all the suffering was the help
