One Liter of Tears

Folder: 
Coping

Imbibed with failure noticing things will not pass

I can’t describe what I feel.

Torn apart, dry inside, (sigh) I’m no good with descriptions.

A song plays a brightened tune

yet I’m not in the mood at all.

Glass beneath a frozen moon

go melt away the pearly ice.

Let it all drip until final moisture dissipates like me,

now an arid desert.

One liter of tears for each pain I feel,

ten thousand drops to be precise.

It hurts to know “it’s” gone.

But I know I’ll try hard to overcome it,

That is life.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

A poem about failure and trying to cope with it...  Everyone has felt failure.
