Beads of warm salt water
Running down my cheeks
Eyes red
Lids drooping
Mascara streaks
Reminders of past beauty
All washed away
Throat closes up
Head pounding
Grief drowns my heart
Falling into darkness
Lost and confused
Beads of warm salt water
Running down my cheeks
Tears

Favorite Quote:
I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.
- Maya Angelou
When i was little/I used to point a chubby finger toward the dark sky/And ask my father/why some stars moved and others didn’t/He would laugh and explain that some were airplanes/I still wish on them today ~ Laugh-It-Out
The feathers of a crow are black/The ink of my pen is blacker/The pain of my heart is blackest~ Mckay
If love produced a blossom/I’d take it in my palm/What a blessing, the bright color!/How soothing, such a balm!/I’d keep a petal for my own/The rest, drop from my hands/For such a flower would multiply/And populate the lands~ thesilentraven
And I began to rival legends/Long entombed before my birth./But for all my much envied fame/The lust for more would not abate./The plaques and prizes with my name/Will, like all things, disintegrate. ~ TheEpic95 now known as Helena_Noel

Even though it has got no rhyming scheme , it goes so smoothly through. and I really like the lines "Mascara streaks" and "grief drowns my heart"....Everything a tear is a consequence of. Well put.
