Tears Poem by Tina MacAdam

A single tear running down my face, falling to the ground, creating a pool at my feet. With each tear I shed the water grows deeper. Slowly the level rises as do my emotions and thoughts. I cannot stop crying. I cannot stop this uncontrollable feeling of defeat. I shed another tear. The water rises again. Images flash through my mind, tears fall to the ground faster and faster, the water level rising higher and higher, my will to fight becomes less and less. please just give me something to hang onto, i do not want to be lost adrift in this ocean of tears, I need something to hang on to. I cannot swim. I am afraid of what will happen if I give in and let the waves take me. The waves of tears I have shed already tonight. pooling on the floor at my feet.
