Broken in tears
My chest pulls tight from choked tears, Whose sadness seeps into my sullen soul Like asphalt churned and poured out Onto my future where once grew wild. I cannot hold your past in my palm Without running out of runway, So I face the only one I know - my God - To turn my road ahead into a riverbed. Before I am broken in tears, I pine for the river to flow into the sea Where all tears are laid to rest Before evaporating into the sky.
