Salty tears

I taste them on my lips

They burn in my eyes

And press into my heart

Salty tears

Run down my terrible face

From the depths of my aching soul

Down my chin

Dripping

Blurring the world

From sight

Sickly sweet anger

Only lasts so long

But wait a little while

And the salty tears will come

Flooding my body like a river

Rattling around my empty chest

That my heart has abandoned

Once the salty tears start to flow

It will take some time before they go
