Sadness

Eyes burning
Nose running
Holding back the tears

Mind racing
Salt water forming
A creek begins to flow
Down the bridge of the nose

Eyes burning
Nose running
Still trying to
Hold back the tears

Brain running
Without sleeping
A pool forms
On the pillow
From the tears

Eyes burning
Nose running
No longer
Holding back the tears

Morning comes
Thoughts flowing
People coming
Make-up covering
The red and swelling face

Eyes burning
Face hurting
Hiding all the tears
