Crawl

the tears crawled

then danced

across my floor

‘released’ they said

a soul reached its fill

the cup spilled

they say it runneth.

I've been running

my whole life

when will it stop

when will i stop

breathe in the lie–

loins in sanctuary

a fable called love

shared between two

or perhaps it is many

many are lonely too;

scratching letters in ink

with words of hope

that capsized in despair

these dancing tears

spill across my floor
