Tears 8/6/13

I sat down to write about rain, but this came out instead.

The tears stream down,

You wipe them away,

You wish they'd stop falling,

Al least for one day.

But you can't stop the memories;

You can't stop the dreams,

And you can't stop your mind,

And its wild extremes.

You don't enjoy anything,

You're trapped in your head.

You'd give anything to change it,

And live another life instead.

But you decide to wait it out,

You patiently wait for the day,

That the tears will stop streaming down,

And everything will be okay.
