Tears Poem by Javier Falcon

As I cry my night away,
I notice something quite different,
the tears which once ran down my cheeks,
now feel like drops of acid.

My eyes start burning in pain,
which overwhelms other parts of the body,
damaging irreparable parts,
like the emotions hidden in my mind.

As silence is released in my thoughts,
depressing all my memories,
corrupting all the good times,
destroying my ability to think.

Even so the tears drop,
ever so slowly emptying my life,
as you have already done,
letting me here without you, alone.
