Description My tears are falling down like rain
Trying to erase the pain
The crushing weight of broken dreams
I'm tearing open at the seams
The hope I felt now gone to dust
Watered eyes turned souls to rust
The ebbing flow of my desires
Burnt down, crumbled in seas of fire
My dam was built too strong to break
In times when the world was awake
But as it fractured in hours of darkness
My heart opened to the brutal starkness
This vulnerability with nothing to hold
Sends me deeper into the icy cold
Stabbing pains I fall beneath
Floating under a blackened reef
Numbness smoothers as I sink deeper
Silence drawing me to my keeper

Good poem but I must admit that tears and rain have been compared for decades! LOL
No hard feelings.
