Runny Eyes

Folder: 
My Broken Heart

I am sick of crying;
my eyes burn from
all this hurt.

My heart aches
because it
has been emptied.

My throat sore
from screaming
of your absence.

I lost everything
I lived for and now
I have trouble breathing.

Fevered head
worries of a future
of loneliness.

I fear this disease
that plagues me
will never go away.
