Another Night Poem by Victoria Nicolle

My heart is breaking
Piece by piece
With each tear
Another chips off
Falls down to the sheets
Lost in a vast, white
Nothing
It gets lost in nothing
But it holds everything
Pain
From no suffering
Sadness
From no grief
There is nothing to cause it
But they still flow
They fall like raindropsy
Quieter
Unnoticed
Uncared
And uncaring
Tears don’t care
They don’t care what is happening
About family, friends
They are selfish
Leaving, as they take another piece
Bit by bit
More and more
The heart turns to stone
It’s alright
It’s okay
But sometimes its not
Being alone
Lost
Confused
Hopeless
Tempting to give up
But trudging on
No reason
No feeling left
Until the next time
The next night
And they fall again
