[ghost]: 200.Poetry.Invisible Tears

a tear falls from its perch by your eyes
and rejoices in its liberty
and it dances, plays, and sings
until its end is brought from below


But the tear isn't there, and the pain stays inside you
and I see nothing but what you won't let your eyes show
But I know you better than that, and I see the tears
though they may be welled up behind mahogany blinds


Why do you hide it from me? What is it you fear?
I take no pleasure in the flow of your tears.
So why do you keep them locked away in your soul?
You hold the acid in to dig on deeper through your heart.
