Sad Through Tears Poem by Linda Engwall

The tears just keep falling now
I can’t seem to stop
I thought
Or did
I just tell myself
I didn’t have any more to tears left to shed

Years of crying long ago
Then just learning to holding them in
Figured out long ago
Those tears
Never changed anything after all

There doesn’t feel like much relief
Even now letting them fall
But stop I can’t
So they will just have to fall

Wish I could figure out the necessity of tears
Some control I wish I had over it all
Alas there is none
Emotions will raise and down the tears will come
Whether I understand it at all
