Tears

I come
from deep within your soul
I come
with tidings again
I'm not the joy
you've known before
I'm not relief
upon your features
but I'm here
again
with you.

I come
to taunt you once again
I come
with furrowed confusion
I am that crease
upon your brow
and I am here
again
with you.

I come
to play upon your heart
I come
to sing my song
I am that melody
around quivering lips
and I am here
again
with you.

I come
with bitter flames that sear
I come
with consuming intentions
I am the inferno
incinerating you
and I am here
again
with you.
