Dry Tears

My eyes are red

But my eyes are dry



I've cried all the tears

That my eyes can cry



I've thought about things

From every point of view



I've thought about us

And the love we knew



My eyes are red

But my eyes are dry



Why these dry tears

Do I still cry?

Tricia, this really hit me hard, more often then not I find myself crying dry tears, or silent tears as I wrote a poem called about the same thing. I think about the things me and my lost love had, and it reminds me of what I chose to give up because of insecurities that I have. Thank you, this really made me think. Well writen, I really liked it.
Peace and love.

This is very good. I can feel your hurt. I wish I could not relate.

This is such a sad but oh so true piece of poetry! Sometimes when there are just no more tears to cry the hurt remais ever present.

You spoke to me earlier of your simplicity of your words spoken in your work. From what I have read of you the simplicity is the charm of what you write.

Very easily understood and very touching to the heart. It is I that thinks I have found someone with much talent.

I am so glad that we have found each other. I love your work!

You have found a friend in me. I love your work and I know how it feels to cry wet and dry tears. It ain't over til it's over. You have life yet to live.

Love,
Jessica

I too have cried dry tears. The pain of loss and the hope of joy are often intermingled, as they have been for both you and me. I hope one day you can cry tears of joy. Love, Larry

Tricia, Oh this sort of poem is heart wrenching. It is so simply stated, and yet the pain is so complex. I feel the pain, therefore you have written this very well.Good work Tricia. Fleur
