Tears

tears

all i know is tears

the once strong dam that held back oceans, is cracked

the walls are starting to rot

the dam is not strong

i am not strong

strong enough to quell the ocean tides

strong enough to push the tides back, please don’t flow

please don’t flow out and over my dam

my dam, sitting behind a hazel sun, is not strong enough

strong enough to stop the ocean tears from cascading down my cliffs and valleys

down my ravines, cracks and stop

stop at my feet

my feet were once on dry land, now they stand in my tears

all i can see is my tears
